And another light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek thread is torpedoed. 
new GAN amplifier
https://agdproduction.com/gantube.html If I’m reading this correctly, the best way to make GaN-based amplification to sound more tube-like is to build the components into a tube???BTW, again no rating into 2 ohms.

Two very large cardboard boxes on doorstep.That'll derail a happy T-giving every time. 
Redbook CD players, vs. Multi-Format players
Different horses/courses.Bryston BCD-3 makes the case for red-book only, concentrating on that technology only.But Marantz, Luxman, etc. make SACD machines that sound fabulous.So no definitive answer. 
You went from Harbeth P3's to Compact 7's, and...
The older Proac Response line was a superb match with low-powered tube amps.  Find one in good condition and get a bigger and better sound for less $$. 
Classical Music for Aficionados
I've always turned to Karajan for Sibelius 5, but I'm really liking the Simon Rattle version, which I have on a disc paired with 7.  A real winner.

Some energetic music played on the system will significantly enhance your workout on the stationary bike positioned exactly equidistant from the two speakers. 
Everything a crossover has to do ...
Please invent a complex crossover with at least twelve different variable control knobs, so that kenjit can experiment to his heart's content with an infinitude of perms and coms of all the different parameters.

You're thinking about this all wrong.The way you need to cast is question is who are the posters who've led the threads off in unexpected yet fruitful directions.  Like what the comfiest chair to sit in is. 
Quad Tube Rolling
Broadly speaking, the smaller tubes higher up the foodchain (i.e. closer to the input signal) are going to make a bigger difference to the sound.  Whether that change is a plus or minus is a whole other question. 
Paradigm Persona 9H - hard to drive !?
As I predicted.  Your enjoyment owes a lot to that SET typology. 
Richard Kern modified Sony SCD-777 ES - what to replace it with
Budget? 
Esoteric K-03 / K-01 Leave Power On ?
You heard it here, vinyl-lovers!Digital should never be turned on  
dissapointed - new LS50w's vs old PioneerFS52's/Luxman R113 - so far Kef's not so great?
Not surprised.  These small KEF speakers are hugely overrated. 
Night and day speaker connection
I wish that guy from Israel was still around.
