Best amp for KEF LS50
Best I have heard the ls50 sound is with Devialet 120/200.

Magnepan 20.7
I would love to hear those from 5 feet away. Must be enveloping, fast, and dynamic. Have fun!

Devialet, done.  No brainer.  
A thin and elegant system?
The Devialet 120 around $3500 used is a zero compromise component that offers state of the art amplification, preamplification, d/a and phono. Pair it with speakers you like that are SAM ready (I use ls50s) and there will be no beating it at 5k in...

I think that the Rogue Cronus Magnum is worth looking at. It is tubed integrated with phono stage. The Rogue offers lots of power and since you are in a big room with speakers that are not very efficient I think you might want more than 25-40 wpc ... 
Active and passive preamp in one chain ?
Try a tube buffer from Musical Fidelity or Yaquin.  
***Advice Needed***Choosing Between Mini & Midi Monitors
Dynaudios do like power in general but the x14 are a much easier load than the 12s and Focus. X14 may work with 25 wpc and they sound great.

Devialet dual mono.  
Suggestions on a new /used amp for Focal speakers.
Tubes which leads you to Primaluna most likely at this price point. I have owned some of their stuff and it is very nice.  
Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions?
