The Luxman L-507ux II  is for your front speakers only. The Adcom 5 channel amp  may be kept for your 4 surrounds and center speakers ,  until you find a better multichannels power amp. on the used market.

If the Adcom 5 channels , is used for surrounds speakers , keep it. The front and center channels are the most important. They deserve a good power amp. This is my opinion. @auxinput Is better than me for this matter.   But for 2 channels m... 
Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k
Depending on where you live . Soulution INT 330 Integrated 120 W  ,   Class A Home Theater Bypass   https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649765356-soulution-int-330/    
Using one set of speakers with AV receiver and Lamp amplifier
I don’t think so. If you only keep the B&W speakers , You need something like this : https://www.amazon.com/SOLUPEAK-P2-Amplifier-Switcher-Loudspeaker/dp/B093GSS8P7

Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions
@OP You may consider , speakers with AMT  tweeter. I think AMT tweeter is a bit like an harmonica.  It may pair well with tube gear Audiovector has AMT tweeter.
