Tube Phono Stage Help
There is a QuickSilver listed here for $400.00,I own one and you can roll the tubes till you get the sound you want,I use nos GE 12at7 in place of the 12ax7,this will warm up the sound. 
Amps for KEF ref 101s
I owned them about 30 years ago,great little speaker,there is a Rogue Audio Cronus integrated listed here,I think that would be a great match. 
To all tube lovers.......
88db is not inefficent,I have 81db Spendors driven with 50 watt Quicksilvers with no problem,stay with tubes you will get tired of solid state in time.

Monitors to replace EPOS M-16i
Spendor 3/5's are what you are looking for. They go for about $600 used, $1400 new. They are a great monitor!

Chech out Rogue Audio Cronus integrated,that will get your foot in the door for under 2k,it is a 50 watt tube unit that will make your Harbeths sing.My friend has a 50 watt Rogue power amp driving Spendors and they sound great! 
Amplifier progression and change
I don't want to burst your bubble but I owned those Accuphase amps over 35 years ago. At that time they were made by Kenwood and sold at circuit city type chains. They were nice but not state of the art. With the speakers you now have you should i...

Classe' model 20 pre anyone?
I had a model 15 for about 10 years and enjoyed it very much,the model 10 is the same but 125 watts,if that is all you need it is a great amp.
