B&W - THE Nautilus.
To echo some of the sentiment from the gentleman above, I too have had the pleasure of listening to these and it sounds like it may have been the same traveling demo system. I heard them with the then debuted Classe Sigma series. There was the Sig... 
Favorite cover?
One of my favs and dare I say better than the original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgFQ6WmxdMs Mumford n Sons The Boxer & I'm on Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAl-vZsswb4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU6p7nsk9lo  
cm10 S2 and Rotel RX-1050 when bi-wired on A and B speakers Rotel overheats easily
Probably because speaker b is a parallel amp channel to speaker a. In order to actually BiAmp you would need to add an external 2ch amp.Also a lack of ventilation and air flow will create a large amount of heat 
High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k
I used a Tang Band 8" full range in a custom built cabinet being powered from a Schiit Aegir (20wpc) and really enjoy it. I, too, have a small listening room (11.5 x 14) so I'm in the same boat as you. I looked long and hard at the Omega speakers,...

@wig Well here's an update. I returned my AN Super 8s for a refund. The mid/upper midrange was so "shouty" that I (nor my hifi friends that listened to them) couldn't live with it. I tried moving my speakers around and a different amp but it would... 
Anyone running Schiit Audio Freya preamp and a pair of Vidar power amps? What speakers?

wig,Yeah I did weds night. Straight out of the box the midrange and high frequency is more apparent than the 6.5s which covers the bass a little more. I would imagine once I can get some hours on them they'll sweeten up and settle down

I've had the Classic 6.5 for a about 3 years and last year I put them in their recommended 2.8 MKII boxes which made a huge performance increase. I just received my Super 8s to replace the 6.5 and will install them tonight so I can't report on the...

Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
Rethm Audio speakers. Single driver augmented by an internal self powered sub is pretty tough to beat for mid-range clarity.  
Please vote
I vote #1 - There's a lot of variables that could change that but just by their sound I've always liked the B&W sound.
