Which Lamm should I add to the flock?
Agreed. Can't tell the players w/o a program. 
hum from nearby high-tension wires?
Hey, nothing like scaring the guy. Verdict is indeed still out on EM/RF impact on human health. As far as your hi-fi, that is a problem. You can try sheets of ERS cloth and move them around to see if there is a particularly sensitive piece of equi... 
Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad?
Big screen = NG. Try putting a rug or throw over it and moving your speakers forward.

Help ? with upgrade to budget system
The volume of your listening room has gone from 960 cu. ft to 11040. In other words, well over a 10X increase!!! I would bet that you will need/want more power in your amplifier, esp. since most B&Ws require watts and current. For $3K you migh...

In my experience this IS video noise from a ground loop. Tvad's solution may help if you are not getting a good ground because your connections are loose. Try an isolation transformer on the co-ax from your cable. If that works you know the proble...

Which player has all this????
I think that there are balanced mods available to the 3910, but I do not know about the volume control. Check with exemplar and apl. 
Can the Sennheiser HD650 do BIG SCALE classical???
I have the Merlins set up and would love to have you come down sometime. I will have my new TT set up in a week or 2; right now source is an Exemplar 3910 or an Audio Aero Prima. As far as the amp goes, it depends on what you call modest. I believ... 
please help with tube amp thks
If you what something to really rock, I would not go 300b, for sure. Active subs help if you roll off the lows bepfre the amp, as Elevick says, but still you would need very efficient speakers to get what you want with 300b amps (unless you go wit... 
Can the Sennheiser HD650 do BIG SCALE classical???
Goatboy- As you may remember, I've got the K1Ks here is you want to try those as well. I think you will be spoiled, but I will also say that since they are very resolving, I would not recommend goind with a "relatively inexpensive low powered amp"...
