Poor Fritz
jss I am trying my best to do just that.... 
How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers?
I would get a two wheel dolly put some foam pipe insulation on it so you don't scratch the speakers then you can move them as needed. No spikes until you find a spot where the speakers sing to you.  
Poor Fritz
I haven't been out of the country lately....I am saddened hearing about the passing of Fritz, he was a dedicated audio.. we will miss him dearly.. 
Warm romantic & detailed
You will never tame those speakers.   If you went with the Proac Tablet 10's ( they are not expensive ) you could eventually pick up a 300B amp and have more of the sweet involving music you are looking for...someone had mentioned Reynaud speakers... 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
You hit the nail on the head. You have way too much gain for the amplifier. Check with Mike at quicksilver  
Rockport owners.
One reason that people keep their Rockport speakers is they are so heavy and difficult to ship,,,who wants to do that....easier just to say you love them and live with them....much like a marriage...

The problem " ain't the room "  
Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
The " swarm" is actually and old term that was used to convince music lovers who were not happy with the sound of their system, in particular  the midrange which was so lacking in most speakers. To deflect away from that they, the manufactures, fo... 
Does the first reflection point actually matter??
It does not matter to me unless it makes the speaker sound worse the it would if I blocked some of the reflections.. 
Why are there so many wooden speakers?
Great post. MDF does make bass notes sound muddy. Sounds waves from the back of the driver have the same output as the waves from the front. They reach the MDF and their energy is transformed into massive vibrations. Remember that energy can not b... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
Wilson Benesch realized long ago that large bass drivers do a lot of doubling...I had a pair of small speakers with 8" woofers and the bass was so irritating I couldn't stand it, like sitting at a stop light and a car pulls up with the music blast...
