Please believe me, I'm not trying to sound inflammatory with this statement. But I see that you have lots of higher-end tube equipment; I see that you're into keeping your speaker cables raised above the floor; but you kept your old speakers in the cubbies on the wall? Or were they just put there for the photos?
If that's their usual location, did it cause problems? I ask because many feel that putting a speaker into a cabinet or "hollow" is one of the worst things you can do to the sound. It doesn't jibe with the rest of your setup and philosophies....
