Low Noise Tube Suggestions
Give Andy Bauman/Vintage Tube Service a call.His pricing is reasonable.He carries three grades of tubes-line/MM/MC.His MC graded tubes have been extremely quiet and dependable.

Scratch the "tiptoes" and find a brass version.The originals are not expensive,but will contribute some brightness. I'm a firm believer in "the wood effect" and the brass footers compliment this approach.Mass is important,when considering the foot... 
Shahinian Obelisk Passive Radiator Replacement
Always best to call and discuss the problem with one of their techs. 
Removal of Optimus/Lineaum dipole tweeters
Thanks Ait. Any use in "hot-glue" and damping in the front plastic panels? I am using a first order X-over at 5Khz.I decided to use the same capacitors that I used in the DIY speakers that I built previously:PAS 4.0Uf with the V-cap .01 as bypass....
