I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
If one has direct experience using all manner of crossover part brands and quality tiers as well as hook up wire, then they will know what each change will bring sonically. OP feel free to reach out to me regarding bulk hook up wire and your opti... 
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
I took the time to look at your speaker’s crossover online and the builder makes both access and visibility of parts very easy! He did a very nice job on the design and cabinet. The parts quality changed over time with this speaker as can be seen ... 
Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar
I owned the Zen, then Zenith 3 and recently upgraded to the Pulsar.  The Pulsar is a significant step up from the Zenith 3 sonically. Based on my experience with Innuos each time you upgrade you really do experience a nice sonic improvement.   
Danny Richie of GR Research describes and explains how he designs loudspeakers.
I liked the end where he explains how he designs his crossovers.  Very interesting to me.

I will be attending with my wife.  We always have fun there.    
I feel for you
Agree 100% and have built cables, tube amplifiers and modified most everything I have have ever owned in audio.  Learned a great deal and had fun doing it.    
Integrated amp with preamp tubes
Circle Labs A200 is a great tube front end with SS output hybrid integrated amp. Wonderful tonal purity! This is one to consider if comfortable with a smaller company located in Poland. John Tucker of eXemplar Audio also makes a great sounding hy... 
Sound room humidity
Wow 55% seems high folks? I guess it depends on where one lives.   
"The room can totally wreck, or make, a system"
One last point. Many of these acoustic companies will offer to study your room and come up with 2 or 3 price options. I notice these plans all but wallpaper walls and ceiling with a great number of panels. I question this approach. Start slow and ... 
"The room can totally wreck, or make, a system"
@onhwy61 your post is certainly true and reasonable. My experience mirrors what you stated. I have had massively to minimally treated rooms throughout the decades. I managed to get all the systems to sound very engaging and enjoyable. Natural wool...
