Best integrated/power amplifier under $6000
Parasound Halo Hint 6 Integrated at 3K is probably your best bet. 160 a channel into 8 and 240 into 4. I believe the circuit was designed by John Curl.. Other than that, there is a used Gryphon on here for 6.5K.  There are a lot of great choices i...

Considering switching to Tubes
You could pick up a used Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated.  It comes standard  with KT120 tubes but you can use EL34 tubes like I did.  I have seen the original here for around 1500 and the 2nd generation for 1800.  It is built like a brick s**... 
Threaded footers for my DIY audio rack

Airmotion folded ribbon tweeters. Are they worth all the hype?
They certainly sound NOTHING like a B&W which I hate. It is obvious you are biased against GE for some reason.  If they indeed sounded ragged, then it was something else in the chain. 
McIntosh MC 30 with Wilson Max 2
Try it, the Wilsons are quite efficient. 
Airmotion folded ribbon tweeters. Are they worth all the hype?
The AMT tweeters in my GE Triton Reference speakers totally disappear as do the AMT tweeters in the GE Triton 1. Every reviewer has stated this regarding the GE speakers. Erik seems to be the only one who hates them for some reason. 
B & W 805 nautilus broken tweeters ?
Is it possible that you may have damaged something in the crossover?  I ask because I had a pair of Vandersteen 2ce speakers in which both tweeters weren't working.  I ordered a new set from Vandersteen after giving them the serial #and put them i... 
Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G?
I have never heard the Bronze but I never could seem to warm up to the Ortofon sound.  If I change my cartridge on the SL1200G, I am going with the Dynavector X20L cartridge
