Thanks for all the good suggestions. In response to 1971... I know inflation plays a part. My dad left me a 2006 Cadillac when he passed. It cost $50,000 new. You can bullets of vehicles now for  $50,000 that are better than that Cadillac. Have speakers also improved in 30 years?

Elliot has something here.  Take a drive to Erie, CO and listen to those Vandersteens.  Great speakers, great price.

Yeah I’d agree those Vandy 5as are worth a long drive to go hear as they’re at an entirely higher level across the board and would allow you to get rid of the subs.  ATCs are great speakers, but I used to sell them and they’re not a good match IMO as they do not skew warm at all and your tube amp doesn’t have the juice to drive them to let them fully open up — there’s a good reason you never see ATC speakers driven by tube amps.
