Why not look for a replacement tweeter, or replace both to keep them matched. 
The Biggest Album Release of All Time...
Not an album but the Beatles premier of All You Need Is Love via satallite had over 400 million viewers world wide. I can remember the anticipation building and gathering around the tv. 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
Another + for Magnepan they will definitely take you there. I have 3.7i in a 12x15 room and they sound magnificent. Adding a sub will help the bottom with the smaller models not sure it would be needed with 20's and 30's. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Van Morrison and the Chieftains with a cold Guinness getting ready for St Pat's. 
Best place to get orientation in buying equipment
Fidelis and Audio Video Therapy in NH are great resources as well as Natural Sounds in Framingham MA. As stated Johnny Rutan at the Audio Connection in NJ is terrific as well as Mark at Reno if you are seeking advice on Pass equipment.Get to as ma... 
WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
I don't think you'll be sorry purchasing Maggie 3.7 I've had them the past 2 years with a sub plenty of clarity, staging, dynamics a you are there fell with good recordings.Good luck, happy listening! 
Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp
Don't overlook the Ayre P5-XE phono pre it's dead silent and will make your Lp's sound spectacular. It should be available in the. $1600 range used, a truly great preformer. 
A person I would like to thank/mention in the history of the high end,
Henry Kloss whose Model 11 got me into the whole thing years ago.John Curl for wonderful Parasound equipment.And Nelson Pass whose equipment I own and enjoy now. 
Any luv for Bunny Wailer?
Spinning the Wailers Burning and Bunny Wailers Rootsman Shanking now.Turn it upR.I.P.( I think Regae brought bass to music) 
Open House With Audio Components
I would pack it up. People who don't appreciate audio will see it as wasted space. Usually when staging you want to take a minimalist approach. Comfortable but with space, potential buyers want to imagine how they will use the space. 
Best Live Recording on LP
Johnny Winter and LiveRobert Randolph & the Family Band live at WetlandsLou Reed Rock n Roll Animal 
Considering Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 or Outlaw Audio 2160MKII
A while back Stereophile did a review and raved about Maggie.7 with the Rogue Sphinx. 
Searching for a Integrated Amp under $2K
Parasound Halo Hint should be available used has just about everything, sounds great too. Stereophile A rating. 
Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
Did you Google him lots of info on people there. You could also call the local police to find out if he's had problems with be them.I think it's safe if you thoroughly check him out. I've bought multiple pieces that way never a problem. 
Groundbreaking albums. Any genre.
