Older vs. newer REL subs
Why not a pair of Salk Sound Rythmik 12’s in the same finish as your Salks...The PEQ will come in handy now that you are taking measurements.  The cabinets look wicked rigid too.As far as Rel, I’ve had a T9i, an S3 SHO, and a T5i.  The T9i is pret... 
Does anyone own the new KLH model 5 speakers?
You can get quite a few different nice speakers for $2k used...  speakers that I imagine will outperform the KLH 5’s.  Atc Scm 19 v2 come to mind as do any of Fritz’s speakers, Spendor, ProAc, Harbeth.  I’d choose Ls50 metas over the KLH’s for you... 
Best Midbass woofer for solid 30hz - 2khz
“Lets keep in mind, there is hardly any fq's in the 20-30hz range, so its a mute point to go seeking those fq's”... total bs for me.much of my music hits 20-30hz.  Music such as Clozee, Eskmo, Bumble, Merkaba, Tipper, SpoonBill... need me to con... 
Magicos!
LoL @jjss49  
Speakers most critical component, , now what fq's are most critical in speakers
I agree and disagree!  Big fan of seas excel.  Listening to some right now.  Also a big fan of bass.  My speakers play 25-26hz very strong.  I had a dip at 70 hz where bass was mia.  Dont underestimate the power of placement and room treatments. 
6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer
I was able to get the7” scan speak revelator that Fritz uses in the Carreras to play -3db at 24hz and 0db from 28 hz to 120hz in a 12x14 room.  I used Sonarworks reference 4 and the supplied calibrated mic to get those measurements.I’m guessing th... 
6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer
+1 to what everyone else said...this guy doesn’t strike me as another kenjit but I have been mia for a little bit.I was thinking that drivrr material, weight, power of the magnet, voicecoil size, cooling, basket material etc. all play a larger rol... 
6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer
Why then are most all subs 10” and 12” or bigger? 
You pay for it and you get it...
Bigger is better!  I have been listening to some enormous (to me at least) speakers for the past 2 days and they’re nuts.  50” tall and 18” deep...There are definitely things that big speakers do that smaller ones cannot, even with a sub.  I never... 
Fuzzy white noise sound coming from tweeter?
OP, isolate the problem.  Try different speakers on the amp.  Is the hiss still there?  If so, try a different amp on the B&W’s...if you don’t have any other equipment to utilize, borrow some from the dealer where you purchase the gear.If you ...

Should I decouple my subs too?
OP,the aurelex subdude makes a big difference under a rel.  The bass becomes much better defined.  Music with varying, fast, bass notes become much better defined.I imagine that you’ll be happy with the isoacoustics.  Your room is not going to sha... 
Speaker cone shape
“they sound even better when the 6.5" are wired out of phase with the 8" & 4”... I believe some companies actually do this sometimes to help with phase response in certain designs, not sure though. 
Dynaudio Xeo 20 Owners (Cord and footer question.)
LoL, like the disclaimer.Use something from isoacoustics.  Possibly apertas.  I’ll also recommend Cullen Cable Crossover series.  Awesome cables snd not too thick!good choice on the dyns. I am allergic to kefs as well 
Ls50 wireless II vs separates with passive speakers
I’ve had quite a nbit of experience with the original ls50 wireless and passives.  I owned ls50w’s and 3 friends bought them based on my recommendations.  I also owned the dynaudio xeo 5..IfI were you, I’d look for a pair of xeo 4’s for the kitche...
