soft dome versus hard dome tweeters
I think @mulveling nailed it like everything it is about implementation though I generally prefer soft domes I've heard metal tweeters that sounded just fine.  
My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms
Ok so you have two threads one on the highs and one on the bass. What's your room and setup like? And are you sure you have your speakers wired up correctly?  
Overly sensitive tweeter/midrange
Do you have a balance control so you can isolate the speakers?  
What does your Virtual System page say about you? 
I started source to speakers as that's the direction signal flows but as I added stuff later I just tacked it on at the end.  
Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here?
Sure it is totally acceptable a business that sells to the public is by its nature public facing and speculation on stability or anything else business related is the norm.  
Music/Life
Tough decision though I am firmly on the fade away track myself.  
The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain
Personally I'd got the 791 you'll obviously have synergy with your amp and fewer boxers. If you go the Auralic route perhaps the Altair G2.2 rather than the Aries? Also since ChatGPT doesn't actually have ears it may not be a good idea to take it... 
Woodstock 1969, or 1967?
In 1967 the Dead pretty much was a garage band the improvement in 1968 is an order of magnitude. I love The Band a huge Rick Danko fan personally.  
Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers
How was the bass before you modded the crossover? Also your room looks very difficult lots of reflective surfaces. BTW what's that big speaker in the right hand corner?  
Frank is gone. AVA lives on!
RIP Frank a true audio legend and a boon for less than wealthy audiophiles!  
An enthusiast’s journey to Audio Note UK
Though paragraphs would indeed help nice writeup mojoetoo I have a partial AN system Dac and speakers and love the sound also. And it's great your Soro can hang with level 5 E's such a killer little amp.  
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
@mclinnguy Not just break-in but as you discovered tube rolling is crucial especially in an SET amp with a very simple circuit tubes make a huge difference.  
Air Tight 300B Flame Out
Yeah your tube definitely went out that's a bummer luckily WE has a warranty program. And as Jerry says try another tube in that slot to confirm it was the tube not the amp. For Air Tight service try contacting the US importer Axiss:   https://a... 
MissingCDs and records
Hey Rvpiano sorry your hip is making things such a struggle I hope once it's fixed you can get back to fondling your records and CDs.  
Gryphon Diablo 300 to cornwall iv
That is a bit of an unlikely pairing I suspect you won't find anyone who's tried it but no reason it wouldn't work. I love horns too just watch the volume control that's a lot of wattage!
