Bi-wire: is it worth it?
Kubala-Sosna makes excellent speaker cables. I am a dealer for them but you will have to contact the manufacturer to determine who you nearest dealer is. 
grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?
What do you think???? Who gives a sh#^! what I think? 
VTL products price list anyone?
Have you contacted a dealer? 
A speaker so loud it can kill you
I was listening to the Cranberries on my car stereo and I nearly died……. 
No binding post a good idea?
BfrThe reason we are discussing mythical products is……..most all the products we discuss are mythical at least to us. We read the reviews and believe or don't believe the reviewer, we listen at a dealers shop with products we have no experience wi... 
Bi-wire: is it worth it?
I would be irresponsible not to suggest that you simply get your new speakers and listen to how they sound. You may find that your money would be better spent on a new preamp or amplifier or interconnect or source or who knows what..

What is the modern equivalent to the L1090?
Not sure there would be a " modern " equivalent. The ADS Analogue Digital System speakers were really good in their time. I had a pair of ADS 610's, clean and accurate. That was back in the 70's 
What would give the best overall improvement
I think I would sell your speakers and upgrade them…seriously.More bang for the buck 
Intractable Problem
I will take a guess. Your set up in your room is not identical for both left and right speakers. One side is absorbing a little more sound due to room shape, furniture, rugs or something. Or one side could have more reflecting surfaces like window... 
Wrong speakers
Probably not the Einstein amps. We have had a room at the RMAF for many years. When I had time I would go into as many rooms as I could. My impression is that most speakers are way to bright. The trick is to look for those rare gems from smaller c... 
$7K to spend on new turntable + arm
That is a tough question. I have found that the phono stage has a great deal to do with the overall sound. Of course the speakers do as well. The Dynavector cartridges to my ears can be a little bright. If you have really transparent speakers it m...
