Thanks all.
Andrew, I think you nailed it.
The good thing is that at the 8 ohm setting,even though my speakers are around 5 ohm impedance, the power transistors/heatsinks are not hot - just slightly warm(even when playing music loud for lenghthy periods.So, I guess it's safe to leave the switch in the 8 ohm position.
Recall somewhere that mention was made to NEVER use such a switch as it was detrimental to the sound and involved additional circuitry?

After many hours of constant run in by leaving the amp on,24/7, the original beeswax block and large motor run cap set up has gotten better sounding. The sound seems very fast, dynamic and great controlled and deep low notes. Snare drums or drums of any sort have an amazing speed and timbre that is a pure delight. You can easily hear drum skins being hit with sticks or felt beaters - no problem distinguishing which is which or what type of drum is in action.
All in all, the cap bank/mod has truly proved it's worth in combination with the IXYS rectifier block: VB068 - 12N07 1-PHASE RECTIFIER BRIDGE (ECO-PAC1 case).

Bigoted and personal attacks removed.
Shame, just as i was nailing down the receiver's KR-V number.
The knob tip looks very interesting though, due time to try an alternate experiment technique, i already wonder what i'll sound like.
Herbs shouldn't be advocated, they'll pollute the object-ive experience.
Maybe some Amyl Nitrite for an enhanced recording during clipping sequences.

Bypassing big Elko with small plastic cap is not as simple as it looks. The Elko and the small bypass cap can form LC oscillator, frequency peaks and dips can be perceived as "better details" or "better treble".
There's a lengthy discussion about this matter on this website, under power supply section or classD section or "Snubber" topic.
