Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A
As much as I love the ML Balance Force subs, I'd go with 2 of the Kef's rather than just 1 ML.    
Is all the hype warranted
I have an older Taboo which I love.  It's rated at 6wpc and I use it in my home office system paired with my Vienna Acoustics speakers, (90db).  I really love it, especially with the Lucid mode engaged.  That's how I always run it.  The stock tube... 
Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii?
For an easier to drive bookshelf, have you looked at Omega Speakers?  
Two subwoofers
Hopefully the OP figured it out in the last 10 years.  
How do pack a pair of large speakers
What model of speakers are they?  This would determine how large and heavy they are and if they need to be crated rather than having cardboard boxes.   
Low Volume Speakers to pair with Gato 150
To save you the heartburn of this decision and financial burden, we need to pair that Gato amp with my speakers.  So you should just need to ship it to me.  Thanks!  
From Sonus Faber Extrema to...
If I had a set of Extremas, I think the only speakers that I might move to in their place would be a pair of SF Elipsa SE's.    
From Sonus Faber Extrema to...
I would imagine you have had them for quite a while and have brought you many years of joy.  If that's the case, to avoid the regret of selling them off, I would explore other speakers by making those purchases one at a time while keeping the Extr... 
My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf
Vienna Acoustics Liszt?  
Sub suggestions please
I'd go with the Rel 99 or a pair of 98's without question.  
Rogue Cronus Magnum III Shrieking.
Is it on both channels or just 1 side?  If it's on only one channel, try swapping the tube sets around with one another to see if the issue follows.  I had this on a set of tubes once and occasionally it would shriek on warm-up.  Found a bad tube... 
Dayton Audio SA 1000 subwoofer amp - repair
The Dayton amps are disposable.  Manufacturers/ brands like that have no provisions for parts or repairing of those units.  They either become a doorstop or it's up to the end-user to fix it. As mentioned above, a Crown offering is a much better ... 
Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
I like the idea of 2" slabs of hardwood, either finished edges or raw.  Then, rather than having them standing on the floor, I'd wall-mount them with a hidden cleat.  Then conceal all the cabling for a super-clean and finished look, if possible.    
To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions
As dogearedaudio stated, Cary told me in an email to not use KT66’s in this amp.   
speakers that are a little laid back in the mids
+1 for Vienna Acoustics.  I love mine, have owned them for several years and I don’t see myself selling them. They do so much so well, plus they look great.
