I think the "from the processor's sub. out" could be a great idea. I see no reason to remove the other drivers from the cabinet. What condition is the woofer cone's surround? Some good base could shake that up if it hasn't been reconed. 
DVD black and white
The Man Who Wasn't There?? Love the piano music. I would also guess at it being a cable problem. 
RPTV and rack between Merlins. A no no?
Ok, for 2ch the rptv is the problem. You will loose most all of the front to back part of the soundstage. It is the price one pays for having one of these highly reflective boxes between the speakers. Getting the speakers as far away from the tv; ...

Jadis DPL2 preamp: is it Good?

Who makes the best passive volume control?
Not being to timid at showing my lack of knowledge; am I to assume a passive has ONLY one volume setting? Also seems I've read the passive doesn't like to drive a single ended 3mt. ic. Is this true? 
Lexicon MC-12 or Meridian 861?
As I see it it is a choice of whatever features you need;or sound quality. I feel the Meridian, once properly calibrated, is the sound quality winner.

Elite DV-09 vs. Progressive Scan
AS far as the 09--- It depends on what display device it's hooked up to. For most HD display devices; Progressive is the way to go.---- THAT is why they came out; thus devaluating players like the 09---which has croma bug issues. Get you one of th... 
Amp Stands--- How high? ----Sandbox??
