What are "Full range speaker"
S23chang, would you make up your mind, your second statement contradicts the first.:) 
Are my speakers supposed to do this?
I think the problem is with the tubes, but not because the tube is going bad, but because it's a low quality brand.When I got my tube amp, I've experienced similar problem, but I could also hear the modulation that appeared at approx 1 cicle per s... 
Soundproofing Hi-Rise Apt?
my 2c - is not what you use, but what you don't use - don't use SUB. Those low F is what escapes your apartment the most, and not only through the door, but through the walls, floor and the celling.

Amp broken?
Try to swap tubes (with the power Off) - one at a time from left side to right, and see if the problem switches also, when it does - you found the problem. 
Tube upgrade/rolling question

Best integrated under $1500 with Phono
Baranyi,You can probably guess from my setup that I'm partial to McIntosh gear. If you don't mind getting used, I would recomend going separate. Depending on availability and your luck you can get a nice Mc pre with phono for about $700-$800, and ...
