Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated

Truly awesome System. You have enough power to drive half the city. I have never heard your speakers, my ’imagined’ take: 1. I am not a fan of ports, if so, Front Only. 2. Lots of description relative to Violins, however I have never seen/hear...

Is My Tube Amp Unfixable? Help Needed
Damn Sad, Made me think of her final reply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRvNg4zQ_14    
Tube amp and correct speaker connections.
I remember Ralph (atmasphere) saying (assuming correct for the speaker) the higher the impedance tap, the easier for the amp, thus less distortion. Perhaps he will clarify my vague memory  
"Can You Lift Yours?"
60 lbs makes more sense than 120 lbs of course, but:, the article is my source, http://www.roger-russell.com/omni/interview.htm   60 wpc monster (dual mono) on one chassis "weighing 1 lb per watt per channel" Perhaps wording should have been "...
