Some questions about ML speakers..

I went to Magnolia Hi-Fi last week and listened to acouple different ML speakers. I really liked the sound out of them. Very detailed. Jethro Tull and the beatles sounded great out of them. There was a big lack in bass as well as I didnt like how they sounded great while kneeling down or sitting down and when you stood up they sounded very different(not bad but not even close to as good as they could). the guy there didnt have the aeon's setup which were in the middle in price of the 2 sets he did have. the big ones were too much out of my range and the little ones were too small..

So my questions...

1. how would I fix the problem of the sound being so low to the ground?...I want it to sound great while I'm standing up.
2. What amp/rcvr/preamp would be best suited for the aeon's?..I hear krell/sunfire are nice on them...what model of these is best?
3. should I get the cinema center channel for HT? I would like it to sound as good as possible for HT as well as stereo.
4. Should I even get the aeon's or what model ML for my room?...look at bottom for room specs...
5. whats a good dvd player/radio tuner in this setup?
6. what wires go best for these speakers...
7. what sub can keep up with these speakers?

The room i'm putting it in for now is like 10X15. stairs on one side. Window behind the speakers. the other side has no wall which goes into the kitchen/dining room....not the perfect place i'm sure..

I listen to oldies/classic rock mostly...my wife listens to country/modern rock...I would also like techno to sound good..

I want to stay under 10k for all for sure...I would like it way under that if possible. I'm not rich so it will be piece by piece...$2400pr for the aeons at the store and $1100 for the cinema. I might buy used if I find a good deal...

thanks a ton
