Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime?
If you guys where really green you would run vintage hi-eff horns off class D;) 
10k system for ultimate image density at 70-75db?
Why not try a full range driver loudspeaker? SEAS has a all new full range out the exotic. KCS offers complete loudspeakers for $4000 shipping included. These sound great at low levels but still can produce much SPL if needed they are full soundin...

For class a SS or tube gear turn off heats up fast no need to leave on. But some gears designed to be left on. I find turning these off requires a day or so to come back up. But if your kit heats up fast why leave it on? 
Class D and High Efficiency Speakers?
I tried, keep going with tubes. But since I manufacturer loudspeakers I have to keep class d about to test on loudspeakers. Why not a class a ss amp? I find these better than Class D. 
Overkill Audio
They made interesting if costly loudspeakers. I think we will see many audio company's go south this and next year. Many of my friends are manufacturers all are having trouble. Many grew large now have much to pay for and less orders. 
To those who support idea a room isn't large enuff
headphones;) 
Speakers for classical using my SET rig?
2 lowther loudspeakers on Agon in your price range. 
Good speakers at low volume?
AudioKinesis, Makes a hi quality loudspeaker in your price range. The design looks to be usable in near field or at low levels. Dukes a great guy to deal with and hes right about hi-med eff designs. Another option is a PHY or large full range driv...

Does seem a few manufacturers don't credit nagaoka. But KCS is not one. Think its well known I am a Nahaoka fan boy. Even my fe206esr cab was 4 generations up from nagaoka original design and again hes mentioned even in my review. All our cabinets...

If you need the sensitivity and impedance of near 16ohm. Lowthers are a good way to go. If you don't need both SEAS exotic is amazingly good. For lowther pm4a new cone sounded best to my ears. 
Avalon Indra with 35w SET amplifiers
Maybe give some thought to loudspeakers designed for low power or SET Use? Seems your going about it backwards. Sure 35 watts would run Avalon. But bet it wouldn't be optimal. 
Single driver speakers - opinions
Cdc just how many 8in full range designs have you've owned? And slapping a coating on a cheap driver doesn't make it better this kind of so call modded drivers will have reduced performance if one really understands transducer or cone design. Payi...
