One of my Infinity RS4b speakers has had a bit of water damage on the top for 30 years now (raised grain and a bit of a water mark). I was deployed for three weeks and when I got home I found my wife had put a plant on the top of one... that was one mistake she never made again !
Yes to plants on speakers! 
Plants should sit on a plate or drip tray and a sheet of glass though.
But my 615's have a plastic top anyway.

Just using a plate still draws moisture from the air onto the plate then onto the top of your speaker since it ends up getting cooler than the surrounding air (that is how my RS4b was damaged) but a piece of glass under the plate should fix the issue. My wife has "Lego Botanicals" on the speakers in the bedroom, but they are nothing but plastic so it's fine:Yes to plants on spealers!

P.s. I like the idea of LEGO plants. Fake plastic plants can be nice too, but the ladies tend to very much dislike them though. In my experience anyway.
Depends. First you’ll have to find them, but don’t worry they wear moving blankets 24/7.I’m a firm believer that nothing belongs on speakers. But, you be you.
I’m in the midst of downsizing it for small projects now that I’m not making furniture anymore. The bench, 1947 bandsaw, drill press, trim router, sanders and SCMS remain. Almost as James Krenov recommended in his books. Thanks for the kind words.

After about a 3 week stretch of having disarray due to home renovations being done, I'm back to some exceptionally good sounds in my music room, starting with The Lumineers "Cleopatra" and finishing with Norah Jones "Come Away With Me."
The renovations are in preparation for selling our home in few months and getting a condo. Now is really the time if you've ever wanted to experience KEF Blade 2 Meta speakers on high end Luxman gear to come over to our home in Spencer MA and experience it.
There's just no telling what I might be able to have in a condo, so ping me if you can visit Spencer MA.

My hearing goes to about the same level as yours and I am 52. There isn't much up past that anyway and most people don't make it to 20k anyhow.I wasn't a fan of the Klipsch sound growing up and hated horn tweeters, but these ears are 40 years old now and these speakers sound amazing to me. I can only hear up to about 15khz these days and I'm sure that a big part of it

That turntable must weigh a ton!!!
Just 35 pounds, but it feels heavier. Sharp used Mikage granite. They also put a lot of travel in the feet, I'd almost call them articulated. I'm surprised I got it level without shims on this board.
It does look like it would be heavier than that! My 1975-1978 direct drive Luxman PD-121U on the left tips the scales at 29lbs, while the 2011-build belt drive Luxman PD-171 on the right weighs in even heavier than yours at 51lbs!
I'm a fan of turntables with high mass to damp all vibrations and feedback.

It barely fits! Perhaps you should center it!! Looks great!!

I like the stack of Schiit you have there too !
I tried it centered for the 1st mockup, The added weight directly over the support is more stable. Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks, but it’s more of Schiit Schmear don’t you think? Reminiscent of the horizontal spread of the Beomaster system that I couldn’t afford (finance) at 20 y/o. I still have the M70 4 ways though.
