Bass, more or less?
Oh and a couple more Zuchero "Pippo" has a great bass sound. And Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer - for a bass that really moves all around you (thank you Daniel Lanois)

Try Nils Landgren 5000 Miles "Da Fonk" - great walk on the bass groove - a good test for your room and speakers..Also Old School Nation series by Hibias records has some nice punchy bass - I don;t know what they do but they are awesome sounding re... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
Sorry, but I can't see having all that electronic processing and amplification with the audience in such close proximity. I hear ya. But I don't have a problem with "electronic processing and amplification" being all part and parcel of modern mus... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
I have enjoyed small venues like that but in no way is that 5.1 audio. Well what about the ambient venue energy (from behind and sides) and the sounds of people behind you. The particular recording I linked to is available on DVD and on BD and it...

How large of a speaker do I need
I second Jaybo - good advice. 
Outlaw 990, Anthem AVM 20, or ??
I like the Anthem - loads of built in flexibility and great value. 
Weird, fascinating phenomenon on Yes Fragile LP
How about the dead fret sound on Radiohead's "Creep" an intentional effort by the lead guitarist to mess up a dull four chord song but their producer kept the one take, it became memorable and the rest is history. 
Vocalist Height system dependent?
I measured my mid range driver is at 40 inches.Then I would think your tweeter is around 48 inches. If you sit 10 feet back with ear level at 36 inches in your comfy seat then you should have the impression of a vocalist standing at about the rig... 
Vocalist Height system dependent?
My guess is that given the rack in front of your left speaker that you are disrupting the primary imaging. This means the most coherent sound you get is from the reflection from both speakers from off the ceiling.Another factor could be the crosso...

Try this thread for a few more "quirks". In fact you could add yours to the list. Although different reverb and sound effects changing from verse to chorus to fill etc. is actually pretty common. Sometimes you can hear headphones of an overdubbed ...
