Primaluna evo 400 - unmatched tubes
The Primaluna has auto-bias.  It should not matter.  Go to the Upscale Audio site, it is in the FAQ section.if you have a PrimaLuna or Mystere amplifier with Adaptive Autobias, there is no need for matched tubes, though it certainly doesn't hurt.R... 
Spendor A1 vs Tannoy Autograph Mini's
Owned  and sold the Spendor A1 because they were not good in a low volume level setting.Much prefer the Omega speaker line for that, specifically the Super 7 MK II.https://omegaloudspeakers.com/collections/monitor-speakers/products/super-7-monitor...

Hi -Similar situations over the years, I can tell you what speakers have worked for me.  Keep in mind, placement is key, especially for late night listening.  All below are outstanding with vocals. Totem Mites.  Owned these for a time.  The equiva... 
Another Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Question
My first question would be ... why would you be putting a $500 cartridge on a $400 turntable?The Pro-ject Debut has its limitations, specifically a noisy motor.    I am assuming that your Pro-ject came with the Ortofon Red.  I have never cared for...

Smaller PrimaLuna Integrated Owners...
I have owned the PL 2 Integrated and PL 5 Power Amp since 2005.  Never a problem in 15 years.  About 5 years ago, I gifted the PL 2 to a friend for an all analog system and I still use the PL 5 in my main system.From the current Prima Luna product... 
Budget Audiophile system under 2k
Omegas would work as well.  I have owned a few over the years.  The Super 7 mkII are very sweet @ $1000   The Super 7 are also the least amplifier fussy of the line and do well with both tubes and solid state.  Also, the least fussy with placement...

Speakers or room
Hi Brian -Your KEFs are too small for the room.  My living room is about the same size as yours and speakers that play very well in the smaller second bedroom (10 x 15) that we use as a den, sound awful in the living room. You need bigger speakers... 
What's up with TMR Audio?
If you are dissatisfied with the transaction, go to your credit card company and ask to reverse the charges.  That is your right. The lack of communication is most likely explainable, but if you don't wish to chance it ... have the charges reverse... 
Sony UPB-X1000ES as a two channel stereo SACD player
The Yamaha is most likely not better than the Sony DVP - NS999ES and that is because both players are DVD players at heart.  I never liked the Oppo and never got all the fuss (sorry).  The Sony 5400ES was around for a very small period of time and...
