Weird problem. Bad tube or something else?
Geez, somebody's feathers are getting ruffled. 
Removing components from between the speakers
Every body of every person in the room acts like a resonator. Start removing people from the room and the sound improves. The best sound is when there is nobody in the room.

SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth

The Minus K certainly looks great on paper. It's the old Newport Sub Hertz Platform of yore repurposed.

If you're bound to use Sorbithane just get some Sorbothane insoles, or better still, hemorrhoid cushions. At least that's what I've been told. ;-)

I know what you mean by not wishing to put the things on the floor. Everyone is like that. But when you go to the shows many of the best sounding rooms have the equipment on the, uh, you guessed it. The floor. It's easier to control what's going on. 
The Best Live album
That's pretty good. But the Mapleshade live recording of the old blues guy in DC is better. Sunnyland Slim if memory serves.

I'm saying they could have at least come up with a better name. The word stealth is like so passé and outdated not to mention overused. Follow?

He said Stealth. There's an original name for you. :-)
