The Better My System Gets....
Sounds like you're just getting old.I have the same problem though. Gave up going to live shows for the music years ago. Live shows are all about the spectacle, especially the large venues. 
B&W 805S Embarassing Question
Unless you are referring to the plastic caps used to block the holes where banana plugs are inserted. These are commonly found on many new speakers. If so, you can gently pry them off. If that doesn't work you may be able to completely remove the ... 
What is the affect of cd player?
Here's what I have learned from my experience; if you know what you are looking for, you'll know it when you hear it. That's how it worked for me. When I listened to my current cdp a few years ago it was a revelation as to just how good cds can so...

High WAF, simple, integrated amplifier
A used PS Audio Trio C-100 fits your needs well with the exception of the front panel input. I owned one of these little amps while my main amp was in for repair. Check it out.

Audio Alchemy DLC
I have used both the Creek OBH-12 and the DLC in the manner you intend to use them, although not with vintage gear. The DLC suited my system better, especially for the used prices.

Kind of like cupcakes; two is always better than one. 
Entry level tube amps?
This may sound a bit strange but I advise waiting a few months, actually until October or so. Why? Because of the heat issue.About three weeks ago I traded an amp for a Jolida JD-202A with a local Audiogon member. Thought I'd give tubes a try. Hoo...
