Thanks folks for the suggestions for foam panels, equalizers, rugs, new speakers, etc. I'm sure there's a wine to drink along with the listening, too. Still, I'm really asking a very narrow question here.
That said, it is a free country and typing is therapeutic.
Thanks, SNS. Spaciousness…the final frontier. Yes! I will likely do only caps. Looking at used market, changing caps seems minimally controversial to buyers. That said, I'm looking on keeping these amps for quite a while.
