I've been reading this thread from the beginning and my first thought was, how are wide baffle cone speakers going to image and soundstage compared to the more conventional designs in current favor. Whenever I read reviews of floorstanders I try to note the reviewers room size and final placement. Often I can get them right by using the cardas speaker placement guide and just inching them around, playing with toe in and finally the listening chair distance. Most large floorstanders don't snap that center image into place like bookshelves do, but the bass tends to expand the stage and sound tonally correct.
I see a JL sub in your sig, I don't have the skill/patience to integrate a sub into my 2 channel room and find them more distracting than helpful.
