2ch amp and HT receiver connected to same speakers
Install banana plugs on your cables for a quick disconnect when you switch between systems. Never run with both connected at the same time.

Two systems in the same room
Save your money on 2 systems and make one good system. Its the quality of the rock recordings that have you thinking that you need 2 systems. Spend quality money on one and you will never think twice. Add a sub to the system and adjust it when you... 
What dynamic spkr. did you go to from electrostat?
I went to a PBN Montana epx speaker from the ML Prodigy. Much cleaner impact on the low end side. Mids are more realistic, However, you will not find a dynamic speaker with the same upper register holographic magic that the panel speaker gives. It... 
Reimer Tetons vs. Tyler Linbrook Signatures
I have a pair of PBN Montana EPX's that I am very fond of. They fit your price range and also your description of a tube friendly design. 
2 systems in one

Montana speakers, musical? Good Value????
Hey Pete, I did mention that I thought that the EPS had been updated (redesigned)in my reply. Keep advertising in TAS and that buzz will start to generate here and on the web. I found out about your gear through another Audiogoner and ended up pur... 
Montana speakers, musical? Good Value????
I have Montanas epx' and sp2's. I find the epx' a little bright with some recordings so I wouldn't consider them soft up top. They replaced Martin logan Prodigies in my system and while they don't possess the holographic imaging of the electrostat... 
Montana Speakers? Have they fizzled out?
I recently acquired a pair of EPX's and the sp-2's for my system. I couldn't be happier. The guy that sold me the sp-2's just sent me an email "Hi. You probably remember me...I sold you the pair of Montana SP 2 speakers. Well, it is a crazy hobby ...
