Event Opal active monitors powered by near 700w per each speaker immediately turned my attention for excellent imaging, clarity and precision.

pretty usual thing: minor surgery --> blood infection(possible translation to complications) --> amba.RIP.publishing with general statement in order to keep particular uninformed isn't technically a lie but looks like one to me.

3.5mm to RCA interconnect

Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker.
give'em 4...500 hours of break-in or whatever. if they don't sound good out of the box it will not improve. break-in only helps to ones sounding good to sound softer with less of edginess that is usually present in the speaker. tonal balance issue...

"Moder SET system" sounds even more funny today. 
Old tube versus new tube gear
Autobiasing was done in early 50's. Everything in old and modern tube amps based on everything built and implemented 50 years ago the latest. VTL mostly manufactures the most primitive designs of pre-WW2 era, but few was made with autobias.I'd say...
