Speakers I have Two in mine??
 Maybe it is insane, but quite common. I have two pairs of speakers - Silverline Sonata-III and Nightingale CTR.2 (open baffle design, made inItaly). They are quite opposite sonically. I change them every 3 or 5 months to get a new impression. 
Q Bias for Cary SLI-80
That's the case. I used to bias vintage Mullard EL-34 tubes at 60-65 mA but soon replaced them with GEC KT-88s. First I biased the GEC tubes at 75mA as recommended but did not like their sound. Now they are biased at 65 mA and sound much more op... 
Triode or Ultralinear mode
To my ears, my SLI-80 siunds better in the UL mode. In the triode mode, it sounds flat and thin, but with better midrange. The speakers are Silverline Sonata-III.
