Only one question, why are SO many owners of the PWD MK II putting them up for sale here on Audiogon instead of upgrading? 
looking for musical Tube Integrated Amplifier
Listener111, it is a hybrid. The preamp section is tube and the output is SS.

You might want to check out the NEW Exemplar Audio Integrated amp. I believe there is a dealer in White Bear Lake, MN. you can audition one. If not contact Bruce Jacobs thru Exemplar Audio he will be able to help. Good Luck! 
Wrong speakers
Just a suggestion, I would try the New Vapor Audio Joule Whites. Check them out at the Vapor Audio website or on the audio circle. I think they are great but also everyone I have had over to listen can not believe their sound. I have owned Bozak 3... 
Amp for Usher BE-20 ?
They need power! Try the Merrill Audio Veritas mono Blocks with a tube preamp like the Purity Preamp. 
Need Speakers to be Close to Wall $10k budget
You might check out the New Vapor Audio Joule Black or White. New at the 2013 RMAF.

Speakers that can be placed close to the back wall
Vapor1 A question: Do any of your speakers use the EXtended Bass Shelf? I thought that technique only used front ported designs? Could you explain more in detail? Thanks! 
Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K
What no Magico S1 or Vivid B1 on the list??? They may be worth a listen. 
Diamond drivers
Phusis, I understand about dull speakers, which speakers do you think are NOT dull? 
Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote
Thanks for all the input. Question! How can you determine if a preamp is truly balanced rather than just balanced connectors?
