Need Some Tube Amp Advice

I am looking for advice on a tube amp and preamp setup that isn't outrageously expensive but best bang for the buck.  I have a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls from the 80' and they sound rich and beautiful however I know they can reproduce better results if I get rid of my 100wpc Yamaha solid state amp!  I love jazz and vocal music mainly with some rock and roll mixed in.  I listen to almost exclusively vinyl on either my B&O TX turntable or my Yamaha PX-3 turntable.
As I understand I can customize the tube amp to more of what I prefer but really know nothing.  Please help!

The Manleys good choice. 
A Primaluna (new or used) integrated comes with a remote, The remotes have a mute button as well. A remote controller is a beautiful thing. Primaluna Pre amps have remotes to. 
Given your room I’m not sure if you would hear a big difference with a pre and monos. BUT pre/monos are cool and the visual joy can’t be denied. 
Klipsch Cornwalls are lovely. Investing In good connects will help your new amplification set up too.

If you are newbie to tube amplifier, I recommend you to try out Rogue Cronus integrated made in US.

Their customer service is also very excellent.
