How I'd spend money given no limits
A speaker is a big hearing aid which you dont have to wear. @ kenjit Your speaker design only good for ONE user? How you solve the problem if more than one person in a room to share the listening session? 
Desktop Subs

Can I have my cake and eat it too or not?
One thing I can think of is using some multi channel analog preamp (like the Parasound P7, Pass Labs XP-30) or old AV processor/receiver with multi channel analog inputs and outputs for master volume control. I believe AV processor/receiver also c...

Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea?
my plan is to connect it to the TapeOut of the preamp and back to an unused Input on the same preamp. Bad idea! If someone accidentally switch to that unused input while the system is on and playing... Plug it into a headphone amp instead.

Two Preamps Into 3 Channel Amp
I am getting some faint buzz from the center channel, but can only hear it about a foot from the tweeter at ear level. One thing you can try to eliminate noise from center channel is insert a Jensen Transformers PI-RX https://www.cs1.net/produc... 
Class A triode - on/off on remote?
Many high end class a preamps don’t have on/off on remotes, and some do (eg. Audio Research).  If ARC does it, why can’t others do it?  Why so difficult to install in a way that don’t hurt SQ? Many high end sport car don’t have automatic trans...

Two Preamps Into 3 Channel Amp
You can use the MCA 325 to power the center channel. But how you connect the front L and R channels? Do you have two pair of front L and R speakers, one pair for HT and the other pair for stereo playback? It is OK if the XLR and RCA is not conne...
