Replacing 12AX7 to 5751 for pre-amp
I'm not sure but, I believe that if you swap 12ax7's out and put in 5751's in a "phono" preamp that it will change the RIAA curve. If someone knows for sure I would like to know.

Another "help me pick speakers" thread
There is a pair of NHT 2.9's for sale on Audiogon right now. I don't know the seller, but I have heard those speakers and they work very well when placed close to the wall. Good Luck! 
Running Sunfire Sub and Tube Amp
That is how you should hook it up. From what I've read, using the speaker level inputs allows the flavor of the main amp to come through the sub amp, and thus makes it easier to blend the sub to the main speakers. Makes since to me? Anyway just tr... 
Another Bi-Amp Question

which el 84 amp or integrated
Oh, I forgot to mention that the Decware "Taboo" uses el84 or sv83 output tubes, which are fairly inexpensive. 
which el 84 amp or integrated
The Decware Taboo is a SEP (single ended pentode) amp that puts out about 6 watts per. If you go their website and ask about your speakers on the forum, there might be someone who has that combination and can tell you how it sounds. Good Luck! 
Alternative to 12AX7-EH tube needed...new to tubes
I don't think that you will realize very much gain reduction in your pre-amp by using lower gain tubes, it doesn't work that way. Just use the best sounding tubes and use an inline attenuator between your pre and power amp. Rothwell makes some goo...
