Soudstage Height?
Try listening to near field, with your ears at tweeter height. In my experience that is how I perceive Diana Krall singing over the piano and bass. Further away I sit,lower the height. 
AIR'S "10000Hz Legend".

does an audiophile quality xlr 'splitter' exist?
A while ago I looked in to it , for vertical bi-amping, and Straightwire said only way is to custom make 1 pair to two, for double the price of single pair. Danvetc, what kind of XLR Y splitter you are using?

Describe your listening chair
Well, I sit on beach chair, with couple of pillows to raise my ears to tweeter level. It is not exactly comfortable for long sessions, but very transperent. The wing chair I bought from IKEA was lot more intrusive. The wings vibrated during bass p... 
AIR'S "10000Hz Legend".

Nuetrality be Damned...
Why not consider the Dunlavy's and get both. Nuetrality with high end rolled off just the right amount to get you accurate, warm, musical non-fatiguing sound. Don't know your budget and room size, but IV/A and up would be my recommendation for ful... 
may i put an hdtv over a fireplace?
No. Unless you have bleachers in your living room. If not you will have stiff neck, everytime you sit down. As far as heat goes, how many days in a year is there a need for fire, unless you live in Alaska. Isolation material behind and under the f...

Krelldog, Refer to a thread called "monoblocks did not work" where I talk about my unsuccessful Bridging of CA-400's. You will be better of either bi-amping (vertical) or go for one step up high power stereo amp.Summary is amps primarily designed ... 
I need to be wowed
Allegro12, Go for Dunlavy's. You will not regret the choice. No matter what you buy, don't do it untill you give Dunlavy's a listen. 
I need to be wowed
Nice place! Cute cats. Sundae way cuter, even with eyes closed and fancy furs. And china cabinet, very cool. For fuller, classical music sound Dunlavys are perfect. In your price range, if you push a little you could get pre-owned IV's. They might...

Tim is right. Older Friends shows had Martin-Logans displayed ( smallers ones-Aerius's) . Lately they have B&W leisure monitors, stuck in corners of the wall unit in Joey Triviani's "family room".
