speakers and cables
I thought from your earlier posts you had a preamp output to your power amp, and could use a Y cable to split into outputs for amp and subs.

Why not just use a Y cable on your preamp outs?  
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
FedEx and UPS don't operate the same way. UPS has its employees handling your package from beginning to end. FedEx contracts with 3rd party companies for local delivery. Those employees are directly responsible to their company, not FedEx. They ju... 
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
No they don't. I shipped a speaker by FedEx and it disappeared. They contract third party companies to make deliveries and the only "proof of delivery" is a piece of paper that says Delivered. No accountability, no investigation, no payout.  The ... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
@jafant  Do you know about the Soul Live album on AMHD? Its fantastic but only available there.   
Marchand Passive Filter
That's a question for Phil Marchand. My general understanding is that's -3 but I'm not sure. I don't know what sub you're getting but I've found the software in my SVS sub critical to blending. They have an adjustable slope on the LPF that most su... 
Marchand Passive Filter
I just installed one with an 80hz cutoff. It does that job very well but also resulted in an overall improvement of my mains. I don't know if it's the difference in port output or the Impedance change. The filter has a 5000 ohm input Impedance. 10... 
Warm, yet detailed tube preamp
The LTA Preamp is exactly that.

Thanks but none within 300 miles.

+1 on the Pioneers. TEAC is good too, but currently overpriced due to a recent uptick in interest in TEAC and TASCAM machines.   I have an RT707 I would sell but it needs maintenance and I can't find anyone qualified. So it sits in the closet.

If just the surrounds need to be replaced, I'd estimate $12-1400. A full recone of the woofers could cost $4-500 and if done with aftermarket parts would reduce the value, depending on the buyer.   
10dB resonant peak at 40Hz
Your concern about hearing resonance rather than music can be addressed by a combination of HP filter and sub. By reducing the energy below 60hz in your mains and REPLACING it with a sub with DSP that you can move around, you would have some contr... 
Assistance with room treatments
I would suggest contacting GIK  or  Music City Acoustics for advice and information. That's their business and they understand complex situations. If you can use REW to measure your room, both will analyze it and provide advice and materials.   
10dB resonant peak at 40Hz
@atmasphere  My single sub with the HP filter is doing such a nice job, I'm considering adding a second. But I'm concerned that while two may fill the room more evenly, I'm inviting phase issues with two sources. I'm thinking that one reason a si...

Why not move up the ATC ladder. SCM 19s or 40s. They get better.
