You want to have some noisy neighbors; kick their asses and go to jail*. I haven't found a quiet one yet! (*been there/done that/got the slides) 
I have no idea what these speakers are worth
I resisted making any comments about these systems, a couple days back, because I didn't want to make the OP feel bad. But: DAMN(welcome to the Shark Tank)! 
Dybaudio Consquence
Maybe they mounted the woofer at the top, to decouple it from the floor(avoiding bass reinforcement). 
normal/minimum/maximum switch function?
Tweeter level. 
Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT
Have you tried a little toe-in, on your speakers? Do you have anything on the side walls & ceiling, to combat reflections? (http://stereos.about.com/od/optimizingperformance/a/treatments.htm) 
Looking for "realistic" speakers
No; they won't change their dispersion pattern, regardless of the hours played. Planars are narrow dispersion, by nature. IOW: you have to be sitting in a sweet spot, to get musical enjoyment/realism. The best at what you crave are Walsh or MBL(ou... 
The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1
To really view the noise, riding your AC lines; a Hewlett-Packard 3577A Spectrum Analyzer is handy. Typical line noise will be seen from 100Hz to 1mHz(and beyond). Has anyone mentioned conductors, randomly placed in a conduit, will induce voltages... 
how do I switch voltage on amp?

What is going on
Just like any other market; Whatever you have is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. What's asked is just a starting point. If it's worth too much to you; you get to keep it. 
SR XOT Transducer ?
He has a comprehensive list of his gear on his, 'system' page. 
What are some good inexpensive CD players
I've owned both the Sigma and Alpha DACs, in the past. Kinda wish I still had the Alpha! Have you considered rolling the tubes in the Alpha? If yours is a 24/96 model; you shouldn't need more resolution. Personally; if I still owned the Alpha, I w... 
SDS or phono stage
Good idea, for those that track cartridge/stylus hours.
