electrostats vs ribbon drivers
Kkm and Johnk have either one of you hear a soundlab speaker?I know the sizzle sound you are refering to but on the soundlab that is adjustable to where it is heard then backed off;on my m2;s I cannot hear sizzle at all when properly adjusted. 
Speakers that are RAP music proof
I think a pair of snell c4's or c5's would do a excellant job;maybe even a older pair of ar9's originals.

Nola Contender and Martin Logan Electro-MotionESL
Hi Jim thanks for the reply;it was the logan cls's that got me into the esl speaker mode;I run soundlab m2's in a 23x18 living room and they perform extremely well and I bought them used;so don't ever give up you never known when a pair might pop up. 
Nola Contender and Martin Logan Electro-MotionESL
I would include Soundlab if you are interested in electrostatic speakers as well;worth listening if you can get a audition;in my opinion a step up from Martin Logan. 
What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated?
This speaker already exists and is known as Soundlab.Before that is was Dunlavy.These 2 speakers do exactly as what the poster is looking for in my opinion. 
Cheapest way to ship large speakers?

SANSUI AU-719 Gets Really Hot?
I would suspect filter caps that have dried up some and are becoming resistive producing heat as well as output transistors that maybe seeing a higher bias than they should be and heating as well. 
Hafler DH 500 update?
I think it is a tough call;would you consider using it for subwoofer work or surrround processing if you have that as a option?Since you mentioned that is has not been used for many years I would have it looked over especially the power supply fil...
