I use a Marantz NR 1200 and a Willsenton R8 together. Works great.

Do you have the RF 7 II's or I? The RC 64 can work with any of the 7's with some EQ which is almost universal with many avr's. You could do a phantom center and not loose much without a center speaker and wait til you move to completer the HT.

The enemy of good is sometimes, well? It is best to keep bass management as simple as possible. Woofers are not subwoofers and poodles are not German Shepherds. I quickly learned that a sub or two can beat most Towers, if done right. To get total coverage of the sound spectrum, $$$$$ for most tower speakers.
It is not the best design for most systems and subs can be a bit cheaper the DYI route.
Using a sub helps keep the speaker drivers under control. PKW said something about speaker drivers being over pushed?

If it is under warranty, make sure to follows Klipsch's instructions. Call if needed. Is there a local Klipsch authorized dealer near?

Need lots more info. How large is the room, speaker setup in room, ?bi-amping(passive vs active). I drove my RF 7 and & II's with a 25 watts tube and and 50 watt SS. I also used 200 watt power amps. The midrange should not be that weak.

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.

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

Good luck with the quick sell.

Those speakers will be gone in nano seconds at $1,500, old crossovers or not.

Eight watts is not much power , it’s a level of power that will leave many systems prone to clipping, especially at any appreciable distance. Certain music and special effects can be enhanced to an exhilarating level of pleasure and intensity when played loud . We may not want to listen at the higher levels for long , but sometimes shear unclipped power is the secret recipe for delivering a moving and memorable experience . All things being equal ,power is a good thing ,as is the high efficiency that our speakers deliver .
Low wattage amps are enough power for a lot of Klipsch users due the the high sensitivity of the speaker and size. It is like a sports car, just because it can most people won't be running their system that hard toward clipping. With room gain of easy 10 db, there is some free headroom.

This has not been my experience with amplifiers that can switch between triode and ultralinear or pentode.
Perhaps you mean gain?
Yes, the gain in switching produces more output from the amp and first perceptions are the the increases in volume/gain may be laperceived as better but, longer listening ends with fatigue due to the Hi's im many cases. Ultralinear delivers more power and promises no more. Tubes that are meant for pentode or beam triode will work well in most systems. All the ultralinear amp that I read and know about have more power in ultrilinear mode. The power tube is used entirely different than in tirode mode. The KT 88 pair can produce nearly 100 watts even pushing low ohm speakers..
5.1.4 vs 7.1.2

5.1.4 vs 7.1.2 makes no real difference. Room size, shape, MLP ect. should dictate a system configuration. Surround and satellite speaker need spatial room to deliver their best effects. It Makes no sense to have to many speakers in a small space.
