Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders?
I’ve been using old Dynaco amps for years and learned how to listen and now have moved to SET amps and super efficient speakers. But before I would purchase a tube amp off of Amazon with a repair facility no where in the country I would look at th... 
what differentiates in 2/12 way and 3 way speaker ?
I don’t know and would be interested too. A three way has three drivers and a 2 1/2 way have 3 drivers. On a 2 1/2 way is the bottom driver crossed over as a sub?  
I'm not all in on digital systems because I'm not all in on DACs

You do realize that the "filter" is a DAC Digital Audio Converter. Not converting the signal to analog filtering it and then converting it back to analog it theory should be better but would be really interesting in how much better it sounds.

Musings of a Budget Audiophile
I have the the Orchid DAC that uses the 5670 tube also.  One of the biggest sound improvements I've made is the 5670 to 6922 adapter and some NOS 6922 tubes.  I would think the tube would work in the Maverick DAC also if there's room. Dr Robot......

2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming
2022 will be the year of capacitor upgrades to my Orchid dac and my speaker crossovers and a couple of subs and build the speaker wire connects. If I don't screw it up and it actually sounds better I'll be done for the year.  The Golden Gate DAC ...

Need your streaming expertise!
