PTP Audio vs Garrard 301
An aside, SPH makes an aftermarket bearing for both Lenco and Garrard. I have two and they sound great.  
U.P.S
It’s best to use a freight company that uses pallets and specializes in transporting heavy or oversized goods. Cost me $600 to ship Quad ESLs some years ago.

@fleschler I'm humbled. That's both impressive and disconcerting at the same time!  
Speakers To Replace Castle Edens
Another option is to see if the woofers can be rebuilt. They can replace the surrounds and re-center the cones.

There a couple of pairs of Spendor SP1 on usaudiomart for $1200. Super midrange for low money.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Electro-Harmonix can be a little brittle at the top. Have you given them at least 20 hours? I've not heard the 90s but I have EH KT88s with that attribute. You may do better with the Tung Sol KT120. Also consider rolling the small signal tubes.

@donlduck1 Good point. I've a modest 1300+ of NM in record store style (and around 600 VG+/VG stored in crates) and it does take up space.

I'm surprised so many folks use bookshelf-style over record store style shelving. It would drive me nuts looking at spines instead of covers! I would build it store style.   
Basic question about power/watts
It's sorta like this: A Toyota Corolla versus a BMW 540 on the highway at 70mph.  
12 inch subwoofer overkill for desktop setup?
It’ll overpower the room. Use a pair of REL T5x instead.
