Why CD players will never be dead
I a not with Steve on this one. My computer audio front end and others I have heard do not sound as good as a great CD/SACD player in my experience. Not yet anyway. I love the convenience however! I love Spotify and Pandora etc... The battery oper... 
New preamp: need to change speaker placement?
My actual experience has proved there are times when changes such as toe-in are needed as one changes a system. Again. this was a must with a capacitor change in my preamp. No way the speakers could stay exactly as they were after this change. 
New preamp: need to change speaker placement?
Yes Tholt it may. I replaced the caps in my pre and found moving my speakers was the final step to fine tuning. The new caps were much more alive and dynamic so speaker placement fine tuning was needed. 
Impedance Mismatch: A.I. M3A, Krell KSA100
The output coupling cap value should be large enough as to not roll off the bass. Need to know the value of those caps to help you. If they are over 3.3uf or so you will be fine.

Review: TRL, Inc. Dude & Samson Tube preamp
I also use a BPT 2.5 Ultra in my system. All but the amp plugged into it. How did your group event go?

Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7
I like the RCA VT 231 smoked glass tubes as they have a nice rich tone in the Dude. The 1940's RCA clear glass are also quite good.

LOL - I can assure you she is 100% woman!Gammajo,Yes, you correctly deduced the arrival of my (half-naked) open baffle speakers. They are open baffle subs that I run with my Soundlab M1 speakers. I love them!
