What I would want to see, if I were going, is the new Volti Lucera speaker. In between the Razz and the Rival. Looks promising.

New belt?

Saving Escape covering Alabama Shakes "Gimme All Your Love".    
Wool Blankets as Room treatment
BE CAREFUL! Only buy Pendelton from factory website or Amazon. I bought from a "Pop-Up" ad (which looked legit) but the bill said something like "Murphy's Feed and Farm Implements" some where in New England. Use caution.  
How would you spend my next $5K?
I like your idea for super-tweeters. You want as much "atmosphere" (illusion of space) in your smallish room as possible. Just make sure you can return if they don't work. Is Townshend still making these?  
Found a Milty Zerostat alternative
I believe the Zerostat came with an attachment that snugged onto the ion exit (like a flash hider on an AR). When you squeezed the trigger, it would make the gizmo light up (may be an hallucination I'm remembering). The best trick is to spray the...

Audio Artistry Beethoven Elite

It's been a long time and I don't remember using a separate amp for the subs. However, looking at the crossover, on Bing Images, it appears that two stereo amps are necessary. Plug the output from your preamp into the crossover (left/right in) and...

No, not hard. just hook up the main panels like normal. Think you must hook up the (external) bass crossover before running wire to the subwoofers. This is from memory (24 years ago). I had a pair of AA Dvoraks which are the same configuration. Ho... 
Records and CDs
I enjoy the heck out of vinyl. However, I detest having to jump up every twenty minutes to change the record. My young audiophile dream was to, ASAP, transfer all new acquisitions to R-2-R tape for playback. This is the only way to enjoy the new ...
