I found the best way to recycle my old tubes!
Now if you could just get those filaments to have a nice warm glow you could forget about stringing the lights!  
Review of the Raven Audio Osprey Integrated Tube Amp and Corvus Reference Monitors
@crawfishdaddi Very much enjoyed your review! A nice detailed account of what you heard and a very interesting read of the events that got you where you are now.. Could not agree more with taking your time on the front end. Sometimes we get so foc... 
Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint
And this is exactly why I designed and custom built my current home (at least that's what my wife always says) My solution to the TV issue involved a free standing fireplace between the dining area and living area.  TV was on the far wall opposit... 
Simple question, probably stupid

Front or Back wall diffusers
Without more info, you only will receive useless advice. Need to know speaker position, listening position, etc.    
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
You have not provided nearly enough info to receive an intelligent suggestion.    
Is simpler better?
In a word, yes.  
Dedicated Room
As above.  The room is critical.  If you could get the room to 12 feet, then you would be in much better shape to place the speaker off the short wall.  Start with the Cardas placement rule:  speakers out one third into the room, listening chair a... 
Dedicated Room
What is limiting the width of the room??    
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
You might consider a financial planner as being more of a priority than your next 80k luxury item.  I mean, to pay off family debt you get a fraction of your systems value, and a year later drop 80k on a luxury item.  That math does not add up.  W... 
Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time?
@oddiofyl  In your smaller room I have to believe the Omegas will perform very well indeed.  I use mine in a second system where the room is much larger and is open to the upper level of our home and with a 4wpc SET they generate wonderful rich so... 
Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier
Nice review Teajay. Was good to see you still have the Tektons in your stable. They do let upstream changes manifest themselves, don’t they? A number of reviewers change their "references" so often it makes one wonder. Glad you have not fallen int... 
Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time?
@oddiofyl   I think you will be pleased.  Be patient.  Delivery will probably be later than promised.  Explore different veneer options.  Louis can do virtually anything you want.  He likes to try veneers out of the ordinary.  I love my monitors i... 
There's No Question
@benmeadows My pathway to the DI’s was similar to yours. I transitioned from the Magnepan 1.7’s. I enjoyed that speaker very much. A classic. It did many but not all things well. Unlike you I did not have any issues placing mine. Roughly used th... 
Fritz Speakers
The drivers used in Fritz speakers are high quality and relatively expensive.  Then factor in the cost of a real wood veneers on the cabinets, assembly time.  Well, the cost is not at all out of line.  The manufacturers you need to question are o...
