Who is planning to buy the oppo-95 and...?
Within the player, assuming it works the same as other BD players. That's how I manage bass with an '83 and an all-analog 6-channel preamp.. 
EL34 in a 6550 amp?
Well, you've received a no and yes so far. What does the manual say about that? There are some amps that can use all 3 types, but if it's designed to get all there is out of an '88, probably it'll fry a '34. 
Any one ever replace caps or modify there Xovers
There probably are dozens of us who have replaced x-over parts; I've done it to maybe a dozen speakers.General advice is to replace lo-quality parts with hi-quality ones, but that advice is as useless as your question is general. Get to the x-over... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
MY Audio Physic Avanti IIIs. They're substantially improved, with LOTS-better parts in the MR/treble crossover (including LARGE Teflon-film caps in series with the tweeter) and the bass filter removed and replaced by active filtering from a dbx Dr...

Damarodona: "After all those I 've read in the past about BAT's tubes and voltage I really wonder what type of 6SN7 is the right one for a VK-60 ?My question is only about voltage."Gentlemen, Dama is asking only which 'N7s are suitable for the Vol...

No more impressions of the Emerald Physics speakers. I've never heard the small ones, and it's been months since I've heard the large ones.. 
Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny
Conrad-johnson MET1, a vacuumtubed, 6-channel preamp. WOW does it ever sound good, and 'only' $7K RR!. 
Recommended tubes for ASL Hurricanes?
SEARCH, Keith, Search; you'll learn lots.Briefly, I've found the (expensive) Tung-Sol RoundPlates to be the best 'N7, with the 'Canes' 1st (middle) tube highly sensitive to tube microfonics. Ken-Rads are a great-sounding and less-expensive alterna...

"3. When impedance (ohms) drops, and the speaker wants lots of watts, you could give it A or B, but an electrostat would prefer A because it's a current hungry device, not a voltage hungry device like a cone driver which prefers B.4. Tube amps (ge...
