New receiver is coming into the pic?

Fascinating, PWK needs a movie of his life story.

Even if possible to hook-up the sub to the soundbar, it does not sound like it will be fruitful.

The subwoofer is more capable of reproducing the lower frequencies and allows for a little more headroom in the a AVR.

Redo the entire setup! The power things unless it is truly and outside power problem, most folks don't need power conditioners except to have a fancy power strip. Looks good but, no Improvement in the real world. To get better sound, new amps, speakers and room Tx's. Anything less is playing in the sand at the park.

The OldChen amps sound nice but, the fixed bias is a problem and necessitates opening the amp with power tube changes to readjust the bias due to possible amp damage.

You have your work cut out. I look forward to the restoration.

Waiting years for an amp, this is really funny since there are so many other options.

New toys and the fun of integrating a great system, enjoy!

Free speech also has it consequences. This is a audio forum and other matters should be on other social media! The forum has places for social talk, recipes, music, pics, etc.

I like the new nearfield projectors that can sit on a conso! Next to the wall and. project 100-120 image crystal c!ear. The near field projector is located up front. You can use it for regular TV.

For today's lunch : Salmon Asian/Indian Tikka masala over rice. Very tasty for a fish and rice dish!

Lots of nice gear. Some pic's would help with sale. Good luck.

The question is not which tube to build an amp around, rather the design and execution. 300B, 2A3 and the other mentioned amps types can all be nice. Demo some amps is the best way or make it run multiple tubes.

The Marantz NR 12 may be a consideration: https://www.amazon.com/Marantz-NR1200-2-Channel-Bluetooth-Automation/dp/B07V6GV8XD?th=1
