The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity!
Anybody remember the Canadian magazine Ultra High Fidelity? I used to buy it regularly at Tower. Alas, now both gone! And I left behind my collection of back issues when I moved down south. 
A "best amp for Ohm Walsh Tall 1000's" question with a twist...
But if you still want to change then I recommend a First Watt F5. Class A with enough current to easily drive the Ohms.I have one - and Ohm Sound Cylinders.

Changing to the Mac 2100 from the Rotel is a step backward IMO! The Rotel is a far better and advanced amplifier!  
Most impressive small footprint speaker
Yes, I do have a pair of Rogers LS3/5a's 11 ohms (39269A, 39269B).  
Suggestions for getting a commission to custom build tube amps
Can it be modified to act as an outdoors flying bug killer?

Falcon LS3/5a is the most faithful reproduction of the original BBC mini-monitor. Stands required, of course! Read Art Dudley's review of it and several others in a recent Stereophile. A true desert island speaker!

What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers
A matching Parasound preamp (also by John Curl) would nicely match the A21. 
What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers
Get a Parasound Halo A21. A great amp designed by John Curl. There are several now available on EBAY. Around $1400. Spending more for a different amp is just throwing money away! The A21 is competitive with any five-figure amp! 
Will Vincent Dynaco ST-70 with Zu Omens..good combination?
YES! 
Bendix 6106 burn-in behavior
This issue of "burning-in" a rectifier tube is NONSENSE! It either works right away - or it doesn't! I speak from experience as a longtime tube user! As long as a rectifier tube is operated within its current/voltage rating, all is good! Different...
