But now, I have a reason to rejoice
I've finally tuned my Altec system (naks!) and have conquered the room. In this same problematic room, these speakers gave me big soundstage, upper, mid, and low, yes I said low, bass. Not to mention openness, dynamic of both micro and macro level, real efficiency, and great tonal balance.
All these for a staggering amount of P16,000
Of course guidance from the Altec boys - setup1, setup2, setup6, john (poscablo), plasticman (the initial inspiration), and red76, troporobo (lent me his Fostex tweets) - priceless!
Now I have enjoyed orchestral music from London Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, etc., like never before from mighty 3watts of power from my 2A3. Now, it's time to open my sealed Metallica S & M
This is what 3watts and high efficiency, real high efficiency, can do for us. And it won't stop there, as vintage_dog lent me his Sun Audio VT-25, already gathering dust
with its mighty 1.2watts delivered stunning dynamics with the Altec speakers. I am so convinced, this prompted me to finally axe my 300B and say goodbye to my 807. Welcome VT-25/10-Y and probably a 71 
This room caused my Infinity Kappa to submit, only to raise the white flag when the Altec came.
The Kappa is now serving the living room system, where it sounded best!
End of whining... for good.
