Upgrade for Paradigm Prestige 75F?

Mark Levinson 20.6 Failing
I believe Richard Kreymeyer is still at Mark Levinson in Service?  He can tell you exactly what’s wrong or what you’re possibly going to need, but my guess would be capacitors.  The fact that the amps weren’t used extensively prior to you getting ... 
Anthem vs. Marantz for Focal speakers

velodyne dd plus? still considered best of the best?
Hardly relevant anymore...David Hall, incredibly smart guy, invented LIDAR and sold it to the US Military.  Velodyne is a shell of what it once was and is barely in business.  Because of LIDAR, David certainly doesn't need to live on subs anymore....
