Some people conflate music production with music reproduction. I think that’s what is happening here. They are NOT the same thing.  
Hattor Audio preamps?
I have owned most every type of passive device. In my opinion, a TVC is the warmest of all. I wouldn’t say it has more body, but definitely a warmer sound while still retaining the transparency of a passive. TVCs aren’t quite as transparent as an ...

@pioneerhip  Yes I’m still using the preamp and still love it.      
Aric Audio
I just took delivery of a Super 300B amp yesterday and I’m very pleased. This is my third Aric amp, but the first one I’ve  bought new. Aric is a class act and I can’t say enough about his quality of work and customer service.  
Baach dsp, true stereo?
Did you really need two threads for this?

What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under
No doubt those mods bring the performance up a notch. But unless you’ve addressed the cabinet resonances as the LS II did, you are not all the way home. Edit I see you did modify the cabinets. Good job 👍   
Klipsch speaker placement
Cornwall IV will definitely have “more” bass than the LS, but it won’t have the quality of horn loaded bass. And the CW can’t compete with the midrange of the LS.    LS + subs is the way to go.  
What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under
I have LS IIs. Had khorns a few years ago. For me LaScalas + 2 subs is better than khorns. They just push all my buttons so I think they will be here a while. Hard to beat horn loaded bass and 104 db efficiency.

If you liked LaScalas but want something more refined, consider the LS II or the AL5. Much better than vintage LS.      
Totem Mani 2 At The Thrift
So you are waiting to find a Krell or Mark Levinson in the thrift store before you upgrade that Acurus?  Not only would the Totems sound better on stands, but with better electronics too….  
When Will We Learn?
@asvjerry  That incident was almost 20 years ago. I had always packed my own gear before that and have ever since. I should have known better that time but the crates for those speakers were long gone. I should have just sold them locally but mad... 
When Will We Learn?
I had the UPS store package and ship a pair of PBN Montana SP2 speakers. They arrived in pieces. They put an 80 lb speaker in a single box with nothing but popcorn packing material.  Completely destroyed. Luckily they paid the claim. Never again.
