High-amp  I've been reading about the Buchardt A700 you mentioned. Not a lot on it but sure looks interesting. I might order a pair they have a 45 day return policy. If I do I'll post some room measurements of them.

Your fatigue has more to do with high volume than anything else.  
REL 12" Carbon vs JL Audio 12" Fathom
The JL v2 has room optimization, no idea how well it works. SVS subs do as well.  
The survival of the fittest.
If sound were paramount active Studio monitors would be fancied up to look nice so the significant other doesn't have a cow. 
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
Revel F208. Text book in room response.
