Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range
You should listen to used Vandersteen Quatro wood CT’s , or for slightly larger speakers the 5 CT’s. The 5 s were just replaced by the Kintos. So their price on the used 5s have gone down.  I have the quatros and they are great.

Pleads listen to the Vandersteen Kinta at about 35k. They may change your mind. I went from B&W to their Quatro wood ct for about $17k.  Much better

Best place to buy Mcintosh Integrated Amp
Stereo Unlimited in San Diego is my place of choice. A major McIntosh dealer new and used. Bruce, Ray, and their crew are awesome. Honest fair and service is the best in the business. 619-223-8151

HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES
Personally, I never drive anywhere in winter without jumper cables in the trunk.   
amplifier longevity
The one longevity issue that is universal is that you need to keep the heat as low as you can with plenty of circulation and a fan. Heat is the destroyer of electronics.

Replaced Bowers and Wilkins 604 s2’swith Vandersteen 2wq sub with new Vandersteen Quatro CT’s. Incredible. New speaker cables, dual kinder kable 8tc’s help. But it’s the Vandys that sing.   Even to my wife.
