Getting into Stevie Ray Vaughn
He only recorded  6 albums, not counting live/posthumously released.  All good. The first 2- Texas Flood and Couldn't Stand the Weather" are my picks. 
Why the cost increase?
Takeaway-Make sure your system is optimized and stay healthy. That's all  anyone can do. Maybe stockpile your favorite snacks/booze for the next round of crazy possibly around the corner.

I was fortunate to have my PPP serviced February 2019. At the time, I was told they were still good to go, regarding their stockpile of parts.Should be good for another  10 years. Works like new, and quieter since a new fan was installed as well.P... 
Power cord choice?
Power cables as a tone control and music genre specific-? Good luck with that.Better to just buy a few with a return policy, and you're just out shipping. Asking on a thread will just increase your A.N. 
The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth.
Well...,this WAS  a thread to goof on Bezos. Looks like Jeffy officially  ISN'T  an"astronaut" according to the FAA.  https://www.yahoo.com/news/jeff-bezos-astronaut-wings-might-214944544.html 
Large Focal Speakers Shipping Service
Assuming the seller has the original shipping crates, you need to hire someone on the sellers end that can crate them properly. Then, any shipping company with policies you agree with can pick them up.Perhaps contact some audio stores in the selle...

   "professional audiophile"Those 2 words put together just looks silly.Carry on. 
Just wondering about speaker cables
