Speakers that like corners
Speakers with ports should have front facing ports.A rear firing port may cause all kinds of bass problems.One exception would be a speaker mainly designed for use in a corner.

Here is a little about the Pas 3.Link>>[http://www.the-planet.org/dynaco/Preamplifier/TC-3X%20Modification%20Kit.pdf]

I'm confused about the drive system.But that aside,I can't stop myself from getting a glance at the pictures they do show.I'm not in the market for one now,but I do like what I see.

If the cd works ok,there shouldn't be any problems with the balanced outputs to your amp,otherwise the cd would show the same characteristics.If your new to vinyl,it maybe the difference in dynamic range.When cd's first came out,I thought I was go...

what do you use to remove your tubes?
I don't know about the accuracy of the link above,plus its 4 years old.New Sensor owns more brands now I believe.

Like mentioned above,don't get carried away with the volume control.Its easier to blow speakers with a under powered amplifier than a high power amp in most cases.If you go with a low powered amp,I agree about being careful with the volume control.♫ 
Isolating Crossovers
Something to keep them from vibrating sounds like a good idea to me also. 
Choice of amplifier
An Ear890 running into mono might not make it with the low impedence characteristic's of your Sonus.Here is a link from Stereophile about your speakers.More like a 5 ohm speaker.I would consider something that could drive 4 ohms all day long.When ...

Double check the wiring to your cartidge.With the unit off,cycle the MM/MC switch a couple of times to see if it is not making a good contact.Make sure you have it in the correct position before turning the unit back on.Last resort,hopefully you h...
