Review: PS Audio Elite Amplifier
Picked up an Elite used in 1985. It sounded wonderful with my modded AR TT and Vandersteens. Great memories.

Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
My 1980 Vandy 2Cs sound wonderful to me, (better than my 2014 Monitor Audio Silver RX8s), but when I do decide to purchase the current-generation 2Cs (or 3As, or Quattro CTs) I'm hoping the difference is worth the cost.

Maybe you will get more responses if you throw in chips and a drink too, LOL! Seriously, I liked your post, and I hope you do get some responses. I would invite you but...I listen to Vandersteens, and I live in Texas.Keep us up to date.Tom

I also think you should consider booking a flight to go listen to as many speakers as you can before you spend $$$. Don't buy ear-blind. Buy what YOU like the sound of.

I think a pair of used Quattro CTs would sound wonderful with your BHK 250.
