Cross over frequency ???
I think you laid it out very well Sean. Just one thing added, if you use something like a 6 db slope the transition will be very smooth but you may find out that you may negate part of the effect of the subs because the satellites are still active... 
Crown SA2 Amp
I remember the SA2 but I have never heard one. I used to own the IC150 and DC300a. I don't own them now but I do know that the guy that bought them from me still uses them everyday. That is more than twenty years use and countless moves. 
How to keep my stack of Adcoms cool...
You can't get around the fan in a closed rack. However, try putting the amps on the bottom of the rack near the floor. Don't play with the 555 when its gets hot it shuts down. Their are also passive chimney designs. The first guy responding was de...

Review: Martin Logan CLS IIZ Speaker
Yes, they are hard to drive, critical of downstream components and cables. Not much bass. In my humble opinion they should not be driven by Krell or B&K. They do classical and quite well. They don't play above 93db. I ALSO RARELY LISTEN ABOVE ... 
HELP chord 1200b or electrocompaniet aw220
The Electrocompaniet. I haven't heard but one Chord and I have heard a few Electros. The Electro brought me closer to the music. 
13' x 9' room big enough?
Perfect room for minimonitors. 
Which speakers excel at low volume?
I have to say the speakers I have heard that excel at low volume are all the pure electrostats except the old Koss. Infinities Kappa 8 and 9's. Some little swiss minimonitor I can think of the name of it. 
Where are your maggies??
Here are some of the things I have done with older Maggies and also ML's they seem to work with both. Decrease the distance from the wall behind the speaker to about four feet. Put the speakers about 10 feet apart. Sit about 10 to 12 feet back and... 
can both balanced and unbalanced be used a once?
I have been interested in trying this myself except coming out of an electronic crossover rather than the preamp. My preamp says the balanced outs are 6db louder.My electronic crossover manufacturer says it can be done, but it also has gain contro... 
Biamping towers with tube/SS combo--am I nuts?
Do you have control over the gain or sensitivity of the two amps? Otherwise i would think it would work very well.Don't forget about the input impedance. 
Amp/pre amp for Nautilus 801
Abbey road studios uses Electrocompaniet Nemo. It was specifically designed to drive B&W 801. I think it has 600 inot 8 ohms and doubles into 4. 
Electro Statics for rears only?
Let me clarify my response. One does not need to sit with their head in a vice with most stats. Some yes, but not ML's. 
ribbon or electrostatic speakers
Don't forget about the units from Genesis or the old single sided Beverage or Maggies. I believe stats do deliver bass just not the flap your pants type. When you hear natural bass ie. Trains, planes, automobiles your pants don't flap.When you hea... 
Philadelphia area audio club?
