What a great find. Auction anyone, lol.

Post some pic's, this will help clarify things.

Cutting subwoofers on and off seems to lead to malfunctioning. Subwoofers can be left on all the time. I never turn off my small Klipsch sub that I purchased in 2008.

China Hi Fi makes some nice amps.

You have a nice size space. Toy with the speakers, some reflections are not bad off the wall for imaging. Tubes will pair well with the Cornwalls.
-
Was the amp updated with new capacitors and thoroughly checked out? The amp should be more than enough power.

Call Klipsch support. What happen?

I wish I had room for them, GLWS.

The klf-30's are some great sounding speakers. A sub or two should fill that low end.

I like Yamaha but, that amp does not have a lot of connectivity.

The benefit of letting the subs do the work is for bass management. I had RF 7's and set the XO at 80 Hz. A subwoofer is constructed to have less distortion than a woofer. A higher XO can help with dynamics and midrange clarity. Using the lowest XO may make people feel good about their tower speakers but, that is not the point. If you can't tame the boominess, additional PEQ may be needed.

The are below budget. The NR 1200 eARC, 6 HDMI, Streaming, HEOS and sounds nice. I have the NR 1200. The NR1510 will do an HT also. You can add a 2nd room or external amp to these units. Leaving room for a tube amp in the future?

Time aligning the transducer is a good thing to do. Unless you are using multiple subs, the phase is not much of a problem. Enjoy!

A tube amp is a nice choice since the the sound can be tweaked a bit with tube rolling. A nice tube amp adds to the listening environment.

I have used the Dayton Aura bass shakers and for couches and chairs it worked best mounting them to a board and the board to the frame. A Butt Kicker or Crowson are much more powerful and you will not need as many.

Thanks, Maynard. I did not think it would be as easy as just seeing the tubes test strong. They need to be current matched also.
Using a Curve tester look like the way to go. I don't think the guys at our local guitar shops use a Curve tester.

What do you think about Aavik U-280 (300w - 8ohm) to drive the Cornwall IV?
That what the boot said the ant. The Cornwall's will never need that much power.

I tried to order a similar quad set a month ago. I never heard back from the seller or received confirmation of purchase or mailing info. Today I received a quad set of RCA 6550 in great condition. I will have the other two tested and keep for spares since these are hard to find at a reasonable cost. They are in my Willsenton R8 along with RCA 6SL7 gt and Sylvania 6SN7 tubes.

I received a quad set of RCA 6550 for my Willsenton R8. Sadly, two of the tubes did not survive the journey. What to do with the 2 good tubes since I need a matching quad set. The tubes are Philips or Slyvania since RCA did not make any 6550.

I would experiment with the subwoofers in different parts of the room. I would still set all speakers to small and use the avr's bass management. Tell us about the room or post a pic.

The question is do you even need more power.
NOS Valves VRD Stereo amp with Cardas Caps, nice set of tubes included

That amp should make a new owner very happy.
