Subwoofer suggestion
Two subs correctly placed will help with the room modes and standing waves that all rooms have.Correct placement is more important than choosing which brand is *best*.You can research this before making a decision. The majority of bass in music go... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I just took a look at the Charter Oaks equalizer.Interesting and it actually looks very attractive. Somehow I expected a more industrial appearance. Plus they sell them online and Mac online retailers do not,which is important to me being nowhere ...

Klipsch Heresy vs Forte
Enjoyed the video and your dog:-) My brother has an older pair of Heresys and a pair of Chorus which are in between the Forte and Cornwall.So I get to hear them a few times a year. I like them quite a bit.

Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?
It's difficult to choose one.What comes to mind immediately is Bruce Colburn, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen.  
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Sometimes I think that's exactly what I need for less than stellar recordings. Shrieky vocals especially are where I long to adjust.The ability to adjust subwoofer equalization has given me very positive results, so why not tweak the upper mids to... 
Can you touch the tubes?
If you don't want to touch the tubes something that works well is a small piece of plastic wrap like Glad cling wrap.You can still get a firm grip on them. I used to do that when I first got into tube gear.If my hands are clean I don't worry about... 
Flat copper speaker cables
I used to have a pair of the Goertz copper ribbon cables.I really liked them and wished I'd kept them. A really relaxed and natural sound. The CableComany does carry them.  
Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse?
Everyone that has experimented with cables has likely run across some that are a bad match for their system. I suspect that many "deniers" keep the same cabling and go the opposite route - replacing equipment to match their wire.Which is ok too,ju...
