I'm pretty sure the dirty weekends sold out again ☹ 
Ground Loop(?) leads to blow speaker
+1 to everything gs5556 said. A ground loop would be characterized as a hum. What you say you heard was a buzz, that blew out a woofer, almost definitely DC  
Your favourite Rush albums?
My favorites are all up until and including moving pictures. I've had a long held belief that any good band's first 5(approximately) records are their best then they usually trail off. One possible exception being primus, they still jam hard af. 
I wan't the best in this price range
Triton 5s don't even have woofers. You're not going to be satisfied with the bass coming from a pair of 6" mids.  That's why I recommended the t2's used. Or buying a sub to go with the t5's. If you can,post to agon forum then you should be able to... 
I wan't the best in this price range
The goldenears could well smooth out the harshness. I'm very satisfied with my triton 2's. I would recommend buying a pair used as they would likely fit your price range. The t5's with a sub would be nice too. 
What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping?
I think the OP is asking about the brain's perception of lower frequencies. If I'm correct what the OP really wants to know is how much more SPL does a low frequency tone require to be perceived as equal to a relatively higher frequency tone. I do... 
Super tweeters, are they worthwile?
Op, you're correct in wondering if a cd quality recording has any information at that high a frequency.  It doesn't. Perhaps a wider dispersion tweeter would be more beneficial for you? I like the idea of upgrading your dac as well.

2-pin 15amp cord replaced with 3-pin 15amp?
Some would argue that the cables performance will be even better with only 2 prongs on the female end. I think the argument is that you still get the ground shielding effect without the possibility of ground loop noise.  
How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
I can't recommend a bulb without knowing room dimensions, associated equipment, type of colors you like, ac condition...... 
Fate? Karma? Purgatory? Help me put a good spin on this.
Wait, you're going there to attend a music festival and your friends invite you to another music festival? Seems kinda one dimensional to me. Oh well I hope they're just trying to be good friends. 
Graduating to separates need help
Yes toslink tops out at 24/96 usually. Digital coax or usb is typically better.  
Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp?
My amp cost around $900 all tubes included. A replacement set of the power tubes is around $360. IMHO the power tubes are insanely overpriced garbage. The preamp tubes that came with it cost about $9 each to replace with the exact same ones. I've ... 
Speaker Setup.....
Pdf? Really? In 2019? Don't they know we all use smart phones?  Make your info screen adaptive.  
Good Product or Nonsense?
+1 for optical lens cleaner
