Check my system updates. I recently added a few very inexpensive Auralex SonoLite 2 x 2 x 1 Inches Panels on my sidewalls that work as advertised. Just over $50 for 3 on sale on Amazon. They also sell wall mount bass trap panels and other isolatio... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?

Please recommend an amp for an ancient system?
I'd recommend any used or new NAD integrated amp with phono inputs that is in good condition. Or a brand new NAD c316BEE integrated with an outboard phono amp, maybe also a NAD, BEllari or something along those lines.

Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers
Spacer, Given original Fs are full omni and full range and new OHMs generally produce lower levels in wall facing directions, and use a more directional tweeter above 7khz or so, I am guessing that each may sound best with somewhat different place...

I'm anxious to hear the results of the F versus F test! :^) 
I Take My Music Seriously
It's one of my favorite things. I like to spend a lot of time listening to music. I enjoy it. I try to not take it too seriously. Music should be enjoyable! I take as seriously as needed towards that end.
