Tube amp for Silverline Sonata II
Until just recently, I owned the Sonata II's, and was driving them well with a Pathos Twin Towers Reference (hybrid integrated)... this combo had very nice synergy. Based on what is currently available, I'd consider the following: - AES Sixpacks @...

I got a little rig what do I do now?
This thread cracks me up... funny jabs Doug & Chad!As far as speakers, I'd shoot for some Dynaudio floorstanders (currently listed in your price range: Audience 72's, Contour T2.5's & two pairs of Contour 1.8 mk II's). I love the Dynaudio ... 
Will leaving an amp powered-up all the time...
As recommended in the owners manual, my Plinius 8200 mk II integrated is left on all the time (unless I won't be listening for greater than 5 days). Pliniius states the amp needs atleast 24 hours of warm-up to sound it's best. 
Suggestions for an integrated amp?

Where can I find/buy blu-tak

Where can I find/buy blu-tak
Thanks to everyone for the numerous responses. I ended up ordering from another Goner that emailed me off-line. 
How far out there are you?
Kennyt... you are out there. I check Agon several times a day, but I rarely pursue making offers unless I'm looking to make serious changes to my system (currently in the process of selling my large floorstanders and SET integrated to monitors and... 
REL Q150 and Dynaudio Audience 72s
My local Dynaudio dealer caries REL subs & ARCAM electronics, so I'm assuming the three brands exhibit good synergy. I currently own the Dynaudio 42's and 52's in seperate secondary systems and previously owned the 42C, and think the REL Q150 ...
