Researching value of two pairs of hi-end speakers
I would venture to say you have anything but high end speakers there...dont quit you day thinking your on the beach sippin  drinks doing nadda. 
Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next?
Brent Jessie tubes are priced about 3 times what the market really is...only a fool would pay his prices,IMO 
Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
I've had a lot of speakers on your list and still do,along with many higher end modern speakers..and still do..For me I prefer the presentation of newer speakers but will say the resale value seems to be greater with the classic icons. 
Primaluna or Rogers for YG Acoustics Carmels
solid state IMO 
PRIMA LUNA DIALOGUE PREMIUM - 20 minutes and then loud pop and buzzing in 1 channel
Sell it now,seems everyone else is?..So you suggest dumping it on someone else and taking a huge loss..stupid comment at best.Prima luna makes very good products,ive had several. 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium

Laser measurement for speaker position
  Maybe clearthink isnt thinking so clear. I have used a similar method before ,a more primitive approach with a lazer light to get toe-in set  at the seating position and a good old fashion tape measure ....but i understand your approach. 
Jadis DA-7

Replacing Vintage Spendors is not as easy as I thought

Tekton tweeter design
Maybe,the missed point is Tekton and its fan base make this speaker forum a non read with its continuous and relentless postings ,comments,recommendations for the 21st century greatest speakers available.I see how the post could be interesting rea... 
Tekton tweeter design
 Does this post have merit?Maybe/ maybe not.Audiogon is as stated on their logo  "the high end audio community" so just maybe this post is more suited for the DIY forums.IMO the problem and the flaming is as seen in the first followup to this post...
