Phase Inversion, to flip polarity or not
Now I am even more confused, drums in one phase guitar in another. I'm going to get out of this hobby and go into butterfly collecting. I do have a phase switch on remote on phono stage so that helps. What are most people hearing when polarity is ... 
Is it time in your hobby to build a speaker kit?
I would like to say I am thinking about building a open baffle speaker from GR Research.

I have to agree the DIY is a lot of fun and very rewarding sound wise. I just got into this maybe a year ago. I owned a pair of LSA standard monitors in a second system long ago and always thought they were very nice for there $1000 price, I repla... 
Considering switching to Tubes
I bought a used Yaqin el34 amp to use for an office system. It sounded more like solid state than tube. I even put Mullard xf2 Blackburn plant el34's in it I had laying around which cost more than yaqin new, better but did nothing for me so I sold... 
Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer

Call Danny (can't hurt) at GR Research, he is a real nice guy and knows what he is doing, he has designed crossovers for many of big name speaker company's. I have a pair of his monitors I bought  on a whim with upgraded crossovers to bring to wor... 
Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one?
I believe you can get belts from Origin live. The square motor helped if belt stretched, you could just slide motor out a little to tighten belt. Round motor is contained so no sliding motor. If I can find his number I know a guy with a reference ...

Read some reviews on LSA Statements monitors, they go to 39hz, 6ohm 87db, have a ribbon tweeter with auicaps. Maybe the tone your missing is the monitors your looking at don't go low enough, used there $800 to $1000, I enjoyed them with a 25 watt ...

I had some mdf laying around drilled counter hole, mounted spikes and placed blue tak between mdf platform. Sounds more refined but in a good way and little fuller than just spikes but lost that natural tone even though is a little too heavy, I'm ...

Open baffle you don't hear the box. These speakers front baffle is larger than back panel with curved sides. There's got to be a happy medium between spikes and compounds. For the hell of it I put the spikes back on an hour ago and listened for 10... 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
If you can find synergy between your source, amp, speakers you will enjoy any type of music on your system. If not it will never sound right. You can't just throw a great pick up in a great guitar body and expect it to sound great, ( buddy of mine...

I don think your hearing a revealing system. Your hearing speakers with 100 hours you may not like anyway once there cooked. An amp with 200 hours, stock tubes, thats the first thing I would rip out since you said your keeping amp. Transformers an...
