Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations?
I don't know if adding $4500 worthy of massless tweeters will do you good, but here are some tone controls, I found very effective. Please don't throw things at me for this.  I had a bright analytical system with tubes and Focal Electra speakers. ... 
Best tube type for biamping mids and up?
can it take any other output tube other than KT-88s? 
Lifelong Neil?
I really like Neil Young I really dislike subscriptions to single subjects.  As I continue buying vinyl and cds etc... 
Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon
I have owned only one MC cart but it is superb and I can't recommend it highly enough in your price point.  The Dynevector 20X mine is a HO but I would get the more recent/current offerings. 
To tweet or not...
I doubt it !  Aren't ML electrostatics or are these boxed ? 
B&W 802D tweeter replacement
See if you can get the non D version it should fit physically whether the crossover will be right is another story.  Good Luck sincerely but I do agree the $2,200 for those speakers is a great deal  perhaps you can sell them as is. 
The awakening...
And this too shall pass 
klipsch speakers,be honest
But Wolf how do I get my 40 year old heresys to sound short fat and fabulous now! Can I believe that they are my first speakers and they are actually more than 40 OY. 
Is the Music Hall MMF 2.2 a good table for an entry level table?
i would make the leap. It's a small investment for a table unless you want a garage sale table with 40 year old technology.  They suck so don't bother Unless its a really famous brand. 
Where do cables upgrades have the most impact?
It really depends on your system.  I had a hot harsh analytical system that needed some mellowing out and Cardas Golden Refs were just the ticket .   It was magic that's all I can say. I'm sorry they stopped the golden line but I bought some autho... 
Replace CJ with new equipment
The older CJ gear isn't full of haze per se. It was a a warmth treasured by some .  Modern clarity in tube and SS gear became respected only later. 
Is the Music Hall MMF 2.2 a good table for an entry level table?
When I bought a Music Hall entry level table it was the MMF-5 a bazillion years ago, and I still use it with its's Goldring cart .   Can't say about these lower level tables personally but they get good reviews. I'd buy it! 
inherent design flaws with a 3 way, 15" / 8" / horn (large tower) speaker?
Horns fell out of favor due to there lack of color and tone .  Others called them shouty as well.  I know from experience and ownership. I own La Scalalas and Heresys  (my first '76) still match ok with small old McIntosh.  But the big ones yep 15... 
Replace CJ with new equipment
@Komander  not to start a thread jack but Yes as  a general rule NOS tubes are much better but there are some really good modern tubes around these days.   I have a very large collection of NOS and ANOS tubes so …….. 
Replace CJ with new equipment
I would like to add that CJ and Klipsch make a great combination.   I have some La Scalas and always wanted a PV 10 to match up with a small McIntosh I own.
