Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers
My old BIC VENTURI - v-830 and - v630 are still awesome!    Some of the best speakers I bought. Still in use. Cerwin Vega D-9’s still in use.  
Conrad-Johnson Discolored (rusty?) Allen screws on side of MF-2550.
If you use oil, no wd40 no regular oil.   Mobil 1 synthetic. Just half a drop anywhere needed will be great.1 quart willlast a lifetime.

my first step is to have the factory do a serious inspection and replacement of any part(s) which is needed.      Congrats on the new CJ power amp, they are a great company. Enjoy. What speakers and other components are you using..    
Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ???
Keep your current system. The 500W monos are top of the hill amps. You would be taking steps BACK, by going your route!   If you want a change, change speakers.  Keep the Mac gear  speakers are the biggest change one can make.     Don’t mess with ... 
WHICH SONG FOR A GOOD CAUSE CAN YOU MENTION?
Racism,.....REALLY?S.O.D. - GO   
Bookshelf speakers that project voices well
BIC venturi.  Dv 62si.   Inexpensive, and have a very nice vifa tweeter, bass is nice for small bookshelf’s.    Very nice speakers, they get much better after a hundred hours, be patient, it’s worth the weight!

Nice high quality tube preamp/or SS carver crimson 350 monoblocs / Sanders Magtech.

Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Not very obscure.......   the Humble Pie - live at Fillmore 4-5 cd set from Japan from several years ago.   Has all 3 shows, unedited, and is amazing, makes the regular US version sound terrible, cut up, censored, etc,      This ultimate edition i...

Preamp or Processor First
Preamp!  CD player for music.    Descent cables.      The Rotel CD player is nice!   
Quality of construction on some speakers- namely Harbeth
Hard to find new, Energy rc-70 pair is what your looking for. Highs rolled off, and are sublime for low level, and volume. Smoothest highs, and the midrange is so good, it puts me to sleep. Klipsch ruined energy, forever angry. One of the best s...
