Do I have a balanced system?
I hate balanced systems. For my tastes it is to balanced. Seem like you should sneak in one outrageous piece of gear in there. 
What is the Audiogon of music instruments?
I don't think there is an Audiogon for musical instruments. Musicians usually know and want exactly what they are purchasing and keep those instruments. Audiophiles on the other hand have no idea what they really want. They only know what they thi... 
Why not horns?
Electrostatics is so much harder to say then "horns". 
room setup question
In my experience the only serious problem with placing a chair between and on the same plane as the speakers is if your mother in law were to sit there while you are listening. This can cause the sound to be a little brittle.Good luck

Any higher Dynavectors sounding alike to Karat23r?

Cartridge upgrade, something warmer
