Do your speakers have enough "freshness"
Maybe the change you are hearing is what Newbee mentioned;to me it is a increase of microdynamics(finer inner detail) in the music and you are becoming more aware of source material as it is being presented in a cleaner manner.It was like this for... 
Need understanding on amperage
Pay attention to what Ralph from Atmasphere is saying in this thread and you will be for the better. 
PSE Studio V
This should help you out:I located Dean Klinefelter in Minnesota and still seems to be involved in his products as he offered troubleshooting help;Phone number is 763-295-1710 for anyone who may need it as well. 
Fuses that matter.
what is they are just rebranded radio shack fuses that sell for 39 cents each and then are given a nice look and a huge mark up;this is the only area of our hobby I have a tough time with.This is my only post where I am probally going to get slammed. 
thoughts please
Is there a area that the dunlavy's are not performing for you;I am just curious;I had sc III's and moved to soundlab's and still regard the dunlavy's as a extremely good speaker.My only negative for the dunlavy's was the bass but I atributed that ...

Mark Levinson ML-9 or McCormack DNA-1?
What speakers would you be using with the amp? 
Please help fill in the blanks...

Speaker Choices
Absolutely agree with Westborn post;I think we all work to hard for are $$$ and have a bad deal happen;I will always listen to good advice. 
"blown speakers"
You could take a driver out 1 at a time and using a DVM measure the resistance of the speaker at the speakers terminals;maybe one is open and if they are wired in series then all the drivers would appear to be non operational. 
"blown speakers"
What speakers do you have? 
Amp Cap
Are they soldered to the board or standing upright with screws?The 10K uf means 10000 uf and should have a voltage spec/rating also printed on them.Can you take a pic of these caps?
