Great... Now everybody and their mother are placing "Contact for Price" ads in the hope that I will call them.   DeKay

stereo5: OK, I'll stop making those calls (sorry).  However, I won't stop asking the fake Medicare spam callers if they are calling about my aching joint.   DeKay

I like calling them pretending to be hard of hearing. My record, as it stands now, is having the price repeated 57 times.   DeKay    
Room Too Dead
As an experiment try covering sections of the drapes with plastic sheeting or poly tarps. You could even try paper/Xmas wrap (anything that won't absorb much). https://www.tarpsplus.com/products/white-poly-tarps?variant=39757140197538   DeKay  
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
Pitch correction as you describe it was available in the mid 1980's (Michael Jackson and Frank Zappa were both using it then). I got to play with one of the early machines and it was fascinating in that I could change the key of what I was playin...

Preamp for a GaN-FET amp...
OK: Why not try the Werner Jagusch crossovers then (improving the speakers first)? Not much experience with the 17's, but used Vott's for 3 months decades ago and have listened to many 19's in both stock and modified form.   DeKay

The GP crossovers (approx. $500/pair) are said to remedy what you dislike about the midrange (on some, not all, recordings I assume). https://great-plains-audio.myshopify.com/collections/crossovers/products/n604-8c-crossover   DeKay

unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms...
Something older and odd that I have not listed to in a long time (until I found the following link on YT). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN8M2irJVJA   DeKay  
unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms...
Here are some interesting instruments (simple YT search). My favorite is the more common dulcimer type instrument (# 3 in the first link I think) due to the music choice and the musician).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EPdeQTTFt8 https://ww... 
Question about suitable fuse metals
I wonder what the differences in electrical resistance and/or voltage drop are for the fuse length/diameter (20mm/???) VS say a 2 meter length of the same rod/material? Basically how limiting is such a short length - really?     DeKay  
Help with Audio Jigsaw Puzzle Please
Buy a $50 passive volume control/preamp from Schiit and set up the system. Go from there.   DeKay
