MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
In my system From source to pre-amp, absolutely Love them. From Pre-amp to amp, Hate them. 
Opinions on why this system is uninvolving
You mentioned windows on front and side walls. You COVER them while listening I hope? My other take would be to sit closer- 15' is probably too far for distance between speakers of 9-10'. I also agree with some of the comments regarding filtering.... 
Dunlavy vs JM Lab
Gjames, a lot has been said about the Dunlavy and JM Labs. All I can add is that Dunlavy V'sare the most accurate speakers I have ever heard and been satisfied with them since last 5 years. Classe and Dunlavy make a good match with right cables. D...

Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
I have this funny hobby that I recently developed. I like to sit down ( doesn't matter where, infront of TV, in my back yard, on a swing) and EAT SUNFLOWER SEEDS! I could go on for hours staring and chewing in to oblivion, and enjoying every minut...

An unscientific poll: How often are you happy?
80% of the time I am happy and 20% of the time I have wondered about all the points you mention. My system could be better even after retail price worth $50000 give or take, but I am probably gonna call it a day untill some components break-down, ...
