Most expensive
I would like to see the rooms some of those speakers are being used in;seems like the room would need to be huge.I have never heard a $50k speaker;really do wonder at that price level;what is being heard and done better than a pair of 15k speakers. 
Center channel matched with Fronts??
I think the advice given by steuspeed is correct;if you can't match as in my case I was advised to run center channel as phantom; I did until I could buy a matching speaker. 
Speakers that disappear
I think my soundlab m2's do a fine job of matching the given description for speakers that disappear. 
Preamps with HT pass through?
PSE-HL1 have ht bypass if you can find one used. 
Holographic imaging
Is the circuit that removes the distortion being done in the digital or analog domain;just wondering? 
Holographic imaging
I think you got him Ralph;check and mate. 
Electrostat - M-L; Quad or Soundlab - reliable
I am a soundlab m2 owner and have not had any reliability issues at all; my bias adjustment is checked on a regular basis and unplugged when not in use. 
whats the best addition u have bought for system
what other systems or components have you listened to;and what did you like about it? 
Replacing Electrostatic Panels - Costly/Difficult?
I agree with Duke; I have soundlab m2's and live in New Jersey; my speakers are always off when not in use. 
What one product has redefined music for you??
Tubed equipment;either a pre amp and/or a power amp!!! 
The best $1500-2500 amp to run with Aerial LR5's
For solid state I would look at Odyssey Audio amps and talk with Klaus; he will give you good advice without jamming his amps down your throat. 
Balanced Interconnect Cable for ATC Active Monitor
Pay attention to Atmaspheres' suggestion; I did, and am veriy satisfied with the Mogami Neglex balanced cables Ralph recommended. 
Speakers you regret selling
None as of yet,each sale has been a improvement. 
tube burnout
Are you on conditioned power? If it were me; I would be looking at ac power or the pre amps' own power supply. 
Ground Loop
Here is a excellant paper on hum and buzz in a unbalanced interconnect system; google jensen an-004;written by Bill Whitlock.
