OHM 3XO Factory Rebuild
I had the Ohm E’s a hundred years ago and the sound definitely changed (got better) for a few hundred hours before they totally settled in.  
Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech?
Isn’t that called Mono? What I am suggesting is a one-speaker approach, not a multichannel approach.  
Magnepan LRS in the house!
Congratulations! I have read nothing but great things about the new LRS speakers.   
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
Almost never. Have a friend who’s home was broken into shortly after he had some work done. The hit his only bathroom, certain drawers in their bedroom and his entire rig!  What really sucked is that they couldn’t prove who dun it.  
Looking for subwoofer recommendations
@soundseeker810  I have the SB2000 Pro. Get the app! You can adjust Low Pass Filter, Phase, Polarity, Parametric EQ, Room Gain Compensation and of course the volume.  
Whats playing on your system today?
All over the place today.  ELP, Tarkus. Shirley Horne, Here’s to Life. Diana Paton, I Believe In little things. Stanley Turrentine, The Best Of.  
New Dennis Had amps
Thanks @isaacc7  I agree. It would be great to make wonderful creations for fun and profit! Alas, I’ll always be an end user.  
Audio Research - should I replace the valves?
So my preamp used 6922’s and they should last about 5,000 - 10,000 hours, but most power tubes should be replaced every 2000  - 2500 hours.   
Whats playing on your system today?
The Mountain Goats, Goths. Listening to this now. A friend recommended and it’s pretty good so far.  
Jazz for aficionados
Thanks @rok2id  On lazy Saturday mornings, I usually pick an artist and play album after album until either I can get my butt in gear or my wife gets on me to play someone else.

Am I Getting Soft Here?
Long Term Happy is why I’m into music and my simple system plays it. 😁  
Got $35 and want a neat amp?
Boy, if I was fifty years younger, I might have snatched this up, but now it has no place in my life.
