Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers
You can DIY your own. Partsexpress.com has, or will soon have, Tang-Band 4" drivers for $34 ea. Pop 'em in their pemade cabinets at $125 /pr and you've got high-end speakers for $200. 
RCA Splitters
www.partsexpress.com sells them. Not the fancy kind just the basic spaghetti wire stuff. 
Buget system idea?
Gmood1, Ronnie mentioned how many people with Quads have switched to his single driver speaker. Those Clari-T mono-blocks sound real interesting. Let us know how they work out. 
transparency vs. detailed
Transparency = low background noise. Electrical hash, crosstalk, speaker x-over haze, bad AC power, stranded speaker wire all reduce transparency.Detail = hear intricate parts of music like from e-stats or multi-driver dynamic speakers.I think of ... 
Buget system idea?
Try www.carolinaaduo.com for the single driver Jordan with transmission line for deeper bass. Ronnie's a great guy to talk to. 
Can HI FI components really make music?
Hi Braro, I was talking about a single driver speaker, not yours. I don't think I'm all that experienced, just like sharing what I have discovered. Maybe it does some good.

The Naim sound....vs. Bryston,creek,etc....
Naim is lively but the colorations / lack of tranparency got to me. It quickly ran out of steam if you really wanted to "crank it" with Nautilus 804's in medium room.Creek is okay but again does not have a lot of power. Interesting review mentione...

Here is something for tinnitus:Bio-Ear has been shown to alleviate symptoms 85% of the time through its concentrated herbal formula 
does more power=better quality ?
How do you trim a transistor with a laser? Would a sharp razor blade work? 
Most "Ruthlessly Revealing" Speakers. Your opinion
Opera speakers with diamond tweeter. These speakers pick up up all kinds of miking "games", filters used during recording. This speaker was far beyond any B&W (dunno about their diamond tweeter), JM Labs, or studio monitor I have ever heard.Ma... 
Which companies also offer good service??
B & W. 
Low priced giant killers
This should kill your M5's:RAW single driver ($299)or 2-way($499)They should give Epos M12's a run too. 
How can I get rid of a 4khz-8khz room spike?
I have a similar room - 13' x 15' and highly reflective. Nasty 8 dB peak in same area you have. At one point I had the room entirely covered with carpets and blankets and such and still the same peak. Didn't matter which speakers I used until........
