Subwoofer insight.
You guys won't give up.  MC you have a one track mind!!  I don't see any comment in this thread saying you only need one sub.  The OP actually has 2.  Then ieales insists on something super complicated, or it's not even good enough for him to disc...

I don't think OP started this discussion for you guys to come in and bash his system or his choice of equipment, or for you to argue with each other.  Really, this forum has become such a slug-fest it's unbelievable!  If some of you actually knew ... 
I Need Some Opinions...
I had the same table.  I noticed a big improvement in the SQ by replacing the Blue Point with a Dynavector 10x5.  I'm not saying you need that cart, but just answering your question that you will see improvement in that table with a better cartrid... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
I have a Primaluna HP Integrated.  I've rolled a bunch of tubes in there.  Contrary to MillerCarbon I find a definite difference in tubes.  I've run the KT120s in mine, and bottom line, I don't any more.  I found them to have a "glare" on the midr...

Actually, the SVS 16s that you recommend start at $2000 each.  The question from OP wasn't about which sub to choose.  It was how to make the best use of RELs, which he bought.  That said, the T/7i that he bought currently retails at $900.  Bringi...

Good advice to OP. Spend an extra $3k to accommodate one album you don’t have.  
Subwoofer insight.
For 99% of music, you don’t need to go below 20hz. Home theater is a completely different thing.  REL is great for music.

Bottom line, watch the REL videos on how to tune, and follow what's on there web site.  You'll adjust them differently than you expect, and the SQ will definitely satisfy!

I have a large room too.  It's not as large as yours, but larger than many.  Anyway, I have a pair of T/9i and Revel F208 mains.  I got a T/9i, but in the large room, it wasn't enough.  So, I changed to one R528 (moved from the HT room).  The R528... 
Tell us about your KT150 experience
I have a PrimaLuna HP Integrated.  I've used EL34, KT120, KT150, and now Tung-Sol 7581A.  This is what I found:The EL34 has a sweet, sweet sound.  Midrange is awesome, and they work very well for vocals and more.  But, they aren't as powerful in t... 
Audio Furniture has its own sound!
@tooblue so true.  There is more than one way to skin a cat.  Now, I wonder... what is the one way we're all supposed to know? 
I need advice for power cords
I have a Primaluna HP integrated, and the Chinook.  I put Signal Cables PCs on them.  The improvement is subtle at best.   They weren't expensive, so I'm keeping them.  I did notice a bit more dynamics to the sound, but again, subtle.  I'm not con... 
Tonearm lift
You probably already ordered something.  But I've used the QUp, and moved to the Little Fwend.  Both work.  But, the QUp is fiddly and you have to adjust it often.  The Little Fwend is expensive, but it sure looks the part.  And, I adjust it about... 
Audio Furniture has its own sound!
Okay, so now I have everything in house.  2 inch solid maple platform under turntable and tube amp, with vibrapods and cones.  All the issues are gone, no more resonance on the TT.  Less than $200 for everything, and it now sounds better than ever!
