Thanks Rlwainwright for your insights. I guess in my simplistic view I just really find that I prefer the Pass Class A sound and want a highly resolving speaker to complement what my XA200.5s offer. I have found mods can do a lot to help room conditions.
Regarding the speakers, I worry a bit about the negative 56 degree phase angle in conjunction with sub 3 ohm loads throughout the impedance curve which are tough on amps. Nothing wrong with the speaker, just infamous for needing nuclear reactors to achieve optimum bass performance and dynamics.
