Subwoofer Phase Control
Cos REL doesn't want people doing diligent bass control in their room and practical use case of integrating sub and mains. Cos a continuous phase control with some sanity check RTA measurements leads to a better blended speaker/sub response in you... 
Financial Limits of Tube and Op Amp Rolling
@mcraghead and you'd be right but apparently having a sensible approach to audio is lost on many forums. And we just must not resist the useless "upgrades" and just spend to spend. Cos spending releases endorphins for a month and we'd be back to l... 
85 db or more efficient speaker recommendations
I assume you meant 95dB@2.83V/1m.       If you’re open to taking some DIY and maybe doing some aesthetic polishing, and woodwork, to make it look less stock in visual, I’d recommend this - https://www.diysoundgroup.com/home-theater-speaker-kit...

Emm labs DAC2x v2 or Meitner MA3i or ?
