How to physically move large heavy 100lb amplifiers easily (up and downstairs)
 Yeah, use the straps but invest in half a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood and make the "perfect platform" for the amp (trimming required).

Opions on upgrade path
I used an Oppo 105 for about five years. I too was slightly "underwhelmed" ( picked up a Rega DAC which helped). Oddly, when I moved to another house, The Oppo opened up and sounded fantastic -really good! Then, the 205 came out and the 105 was hi... 
Eddie Van Halen Rest In Peace
Wow! Shock after shock. In the Rock-and-Roll world, you can't have a higher technical achievement than creating a new style of playing. EVH certainly did that. R.I.P. 
Pre Amp comparisons
The Audiophiliac (Steve Guttenberg) had a review about the $10,000 Audio Research LS-28SE recently. He liked it better than his  Pass XP 30  reference (he still really, really likes the Pass, however). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2qMw1SahKQ... 
Try to train them...again, or simply shoot them?
Just had an idea... Whenever discs are returned damaged, buy new ones and give the old ones to the returner for Christmas (Festivus, whatever)...

Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello?
I owned the La Scallas for several months (around 2018). My impressions: LOVED the midrange -Like 'stats on steroids! Bass in general was "polite" the opposite of overwhelming. Can stand up and bark when needed (and your amp has power). Treble was... 
XLR repair please.
 I got mine fixed at an independent guitar store. Charged $20. 
Did any Amp help you understand lyrics better?
I would think solid-state has the edge over tubes in the vocal range (slightly crisper, faster, dryer cast). One thing that comes to mind: I gave my mother some Sony HT speakers for Christmas. For some reason (can't remember), I swapped out the So...
