How to replace FST Driver
I did. However, the manual doesn't show what tools, if any, are needed. For example, when I loosen and remove the large, silver screw cover (which is supposed to hold the midrange rod in place), everything remains tight and the driver stays in pla... 
Opinions on Possible New Set Up
BTW, I'm also running a JL Audio e110 subwoofer through the high pass, so loss of bass should not be an issue.

Headphones just ain't my bag. 
Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i
If the 6H30 performs close to solid state, then why not just get a solid state component in the first place? 
Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i
I did some tube rolling and, in the end, settled on the Platinum Grade Russian 6H23 Rocket Logo tubes. They’re the same as the 6922 (just a different designation), and really sound excellent. Also, I really like the Visseaux 6V6 and the Pope 6V6. ... 
Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i
@kjweisner  ... thanks for the post. I've had my VK-3i for almost 15 years and, in all that time, have not had a desire to upgrade. However, a'phile nervosa rears its ugly head from time to time, and I begin to wonder what component, if any, I sho... 
Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i
FYI, the  VK-3i uses four 6922 and two 6V6 tubes. There are no 6H30s, thank goodness. 
Nuvista Tubes - General

My SVS subwoofer will not turn on from auto mode
This is a common problem with subs. Try turning up the volume on your receiver or turn the switch on the sub to "on" and then back to auto mode. 
Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic)
UPDATE ...As it turns out, both the xover and the phase needed to be re-set once I switched to using the sub's line out. I set the xover to 80Hz and phase to 40 degrees. Now, it sounds really awesome. Much greater headroom for the highs and mids, ...

Yep, both the xover and the phase needed to be re-set once I switched to using the sub's line out. I set the xover to 80Hz and phase to 40 degrees. Now, it sounds really awesome. Much greater headroom for the highs and mids, and the e110 really di...

Thanks.

If you mean xover frequency, yes. No meaningful difference. What really mystifies me is why the sub sounds better without the xover engaged.
