Electrostatic pros and cons.
Thank you , all, for your input. I am definitely curious about them and just might grab a pair to see for myself.   
Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit...
I switched from floor standers to monitors with 2 REL T-7's a few years ago and never looked back. As stated above by a few people, the flexibility of the subs to the source (a recording with low, or high bass) is the best attribute about this set...

Thanks, brayeagle. I'm waiting on a response from the seller. I have a Modwright KWA-150 SE. I'm thinking that should do the trick.

Classic Over-reaction!
+1 for Bill Peloquin. I have 4 dedicated circuits and had a constant hum. I tried the switching of cables, turning everything in the house off, one switch at a time...I finally started looking into power re generators and conditioners. I bought a ... 
Tekton Impact Monitors
It's about 3/4 thick foam packing material that wrapped a previous food purchase. It's made of recycled materials. I pulled it out of the box and thought of soundproofing material immediately. Not overly dense, just right. Literally 2 days later, ... 
Tekton Impact Monitors
I recently lined the cabinets on my IM's and that did help with the bass.The factory soundproofing is definitely lacking. Perhaps internal bracing would help also. Room tweeks will be soon, as the rebuild project is almost done.
