Many thanks! Most of it was one and done kind of purchase, but I was definitely on a carousel of research! Forbearance here was an authentic blessing.  
Is it better to have two matched subs or one

@hshfi Thanks. That makes sense. I have a second sub with my HT system of a different make that I can try. It's a Klipsch while my main sub is a REL. Different calibers. I will try two subs with those and see what happens. 
Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc.

New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
Similar price to some Joseph Audios, no?  That's a good comparison.  
Any Black Friday tube sales?
Ah, the post-without-thinking wizard! Well, at least he didn’t say "Magico!" 
PS Audio Power Plant 15........
For those who suggest a "settle in" period, thanks -- that's good to know. I've heard that with other things like cables, interconnects, etc. It's not clear to me where those elements are "burning in" or "settling" (as the lingo goes) vs. the othe...

Separate grounded outlet for audio setup

Buchardt A500, KEF LS50 Wireless, etc. What are your top 3 downsides?
At the end of the day, everyone makes their own best judgement  about whether they worry or care about spending money on a speaker with internal parts likely to become outdated. The sound, convenience of these speakers are hard to deny, and there'...
