http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/ This might be a good place to get started, I am taking a physics electronics advanced lab as an undergraduate in physics, and I have found this textbook to be pretty useful. Also Hororwitz's the art of electronics is probably the best text on electronics, however very dense (1200 pages). There is definately a lot to learn, and this is just getting you started in the electronics of it... idk specifically about tube amps though, but understand circuits is probably going to be a must

Merlin's books and website are great, and very thorough, but there are multiple different books for preamps, power amps, hifi design, etc, and I think the power supply book is out of print and he's been holding off on an update, though much of that is available online. The Kuehnel and Megantz books I mentioned are top to bottom in one volume with the Kuehnel being a bit more thorough and also connected to the design calculators and such on his website.
Use this to fasten the grill cloth frame to the speaker baffle. That way you can take it on and off for access. You only need 4 smallish pieces to hold it on.
Both Jensen AND Eminence make 6ish inch sized speakers.

Not like this is going to be seen anyway because users use the downvote feature improperly. Oh well.
