FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
"I had a Denon X6500H for example that is rated 140 wpc,  2 CHANNELS DRIVEN.   Gene tested it with 7 CHANNELS DRIVEN and the wattage was only 64 wpc or so."        That’s EXACTLY what’s to be expected, with a component of more than two channels.  ... 
Help! - tube complement advice - SFS 40
@ninetynine -    Call this number 1-866-681-9602 (Parts Connexion) and see if you can speak to Chris Johnson.      If so: he should be able to answer any questions.      I believe the SFS-40 needs an internal connection change, between the output ... 
NOS Tubes - Ecstasy or Agony
Never have had a problem with Brent Jessee.    Recently (5/2020): bought his last pair of NOS, T/S Round Plates (40's/6SN7GT/spring top support) and couldn't be happier.      Far as TC Tubes: My last octet of GE 6550's (from them) had one that wen... 
Replacing magnepan binding post
If the terminal plate is the original: there should be screws in the terminal plate's four corners.       If not: color me baffled!       Sorry I couldn't be of more help. 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
For clarity: make that last sentence, "Compression (whether dynamic or power) is another subject altogether; again, not caused by the crossover, but- by overdriven/overloaded drivers." 
Replacing magnepan binding post
I’ve seen Magnepan’s MG 3.6 / 3.6/R (with screws holding the terminal plate), but- have never seen, or heard of, a model 3.6a.    Can’t help you there!     Have the socks (perhaps) been replaced and the terminal plate, partially covered?        Sp... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?
@dentdog-    Intermodulation distortion is caused by drivers, trying to reproduce too many frequencies, at one time.     NOT, "...due to crossovers."       Dynamic/power compression is another subject altogether; again, not caused by the crossover... 
Replacing magnepan binding post
I’ve owned their SMGa, MMG, MG12/qr, 1.7i models (all great for home theater) and thought I’d seen everything else Magnepan manufactured, over the past forty-some years.    All had small, round head, Phillips wood screws; holding the terminal plat...

Capacitor upgrade jargon definitions
Though the vast majority of film caps are nonpolar, noise is a concern in audio circuits.     I’ve always tested mine (by ear or scope), to predetermine installation orientation.       https://www.aikenamps.com/index.php/where-to-connect-the-outsi...

Well, let’s see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_capacitor                                                 AND: https://eepower.com/capacitor-guide/types/film-capacitor/#                                          Google Search, to the rescue!

Audiogon Is Still Relevent...Don't Listen to the Naysayers.
"This thread subject was basically bait that I couldn’t resist, being so obviously false."            What's, "obviously false" is your opinion; which you, "couldn't resist" posting.       Thus far, your posts bring the only negative vibe.    S...

Sorry, for the oversight.     Hope you find your issue. 
Rogue Cronus Magnum Dies Help
You mentioned being able to get the remote working ("I came down 30 minutes later and tried and all of a sudden the remote worked. Very odd.").       If the Cronus was completely, "dead": how do you know the remote was working?      Just curious, ...
