Klipsch vs Infinity
I would choose the K Horns....  fully serviceable and can sound great with just a few watts.  IRS were a great speaker but i would be concerned with their longevity at this point in time. 
Speakers or amp to be upgrade?
One of my most significant upgrades ever was my c-j preamp...   I didnt need better speakers, they sounded much better as my electonics improved.... 
Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel
I love my Heresy III ,  sound great but do really need a sub in my opinion.   However there are many times, often at night that I listen to them without a sub.  They have great bass, just don't reach down real low.   The bass they do have is excel... 
Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar?
I would go with Bryston simply because if it's not your thing you can recoup what you bought if for if you get it at a decent price....  not to Schiit on the Vidar , it may be a great amp but i had an early 3b and wished I had kept it.   Would be ... 
How many watts per channel are enough?
I've had a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono amps for about three years and have had them paired with several speakers .  With Revel M106 at 87 dB sens they sounded great with 40 watts at moderate levels but crank it up and they lost their composure fa...

Send pics to manufacturer.  I’m sure they will help you out.   
Preamps: Rogue v. VTL v. Blue Circle
I have to add one of my all time favorite purchases in audio is my CJ Classic 2 SE with my Quicksilver mid mono amps a close runner up.   Both have been super reliable   sound great and were worth every penny.  
Looking for a warm sweet speaker
I like the new KEFs a lot.   
Thinking of changing my solid state pre amp
Are you using the stock tube in the ET3?    The gold lion 6922 sounds great in my Classic 2SE...  huge improvement over stock EH 6922 , lasts long and super quiet. 
What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus
Good luck with your new speakers....  just know that you don't need to be afraid of tubes, especially if you have efficient speakers.   There are many good tube amps that are reliable and affordable.   Quicksilver and Rogue come to mind first , bu... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
Its sad, I was hoping to buy a new OPPO and put my 103 in another room..... 
What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus
Have you thought about trying a different amp?  I would give a try if possible, I think the Emos are extreme overkill for Lascalas 
headphones-amp combination
Recently got back into to headphones.   Picked up a pair of Grado RS2e along with a Massdrop Objective 2 headphone amp.  Great combination driven from my tablet or especially when driven by my NAD M51 DAC.     
McIntish MC162 and C15
I had a C15, nice pre and certainly worth repairing .....give McIntosh a call they still support it.   
I like Steve Guttenberg.
I used to be in the biz and Steve joined us one night for dinner after  THE show along with Fremer and a few other industry guys.   I thought Steve was a nice, interesting guy.....
