Dog pissed on speaker
Jeez, just replace the driver. Quick search showed OEM driver is under 150 $. I wouldn't think twice.  
Is toeing speakers a bad idea?
When I had my speakers toed in, where they crossed about three feet behind my head, the soundstage depth began literally in front of my face and I was distinctly aware of sound emanating from the speakers. When I decreased the toe in to maybe a th... 
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
So according to op,  BHK and first watt are mid-fi? At best?? Huh... Wow...   
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
I’ve used a preamp section of my marantz receiver (higher end one than op’s) when my actual preamp was sent for repairs. It sounded pretty terrible, to a point a stopped listening to music on that system until the preamp came back from repairs  
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
Lots of snarky comments and snobbery as expected in an audiophile forum when word "metal" is uttered but it's unnecessary and down right childish to s..t on someone else music. Those of you that do, go to your bazillion dollar system and listen to... 
Streamer recommendations

Question about Marantz Price
I don’t get it.... Get a brand new one with virtuoso cartridge for around 1500 or a used one for around 1500....? How is that a good deal? Am I missing something?

Which of these power cords ?
You're not gonna get a straight answer on this topic around here, or anywhere for that matter. Buy a couple of those inexpensive ones you mentioned and see yourself. Hopefully you can return them if not satisfied. 
Best way to stream FLAC files.
If you don't care much about how your music sounds, literally everything has a built-in dac. If it has analog outputs and plays digital media, it has a dac. The question is whether you need a stand alone dac. I'd say probably. Even something inexp...
