My main headphone rig when I'm considerate:

But I prefer my speakers when nobody's home:

Photos are a few years' old, a lot has changed.
JackulaCan't make out the speakers... care to share? What I can see makes me think your speaker rig could present some truly incredible imaging and your taste in headphone rig gives weight to my assumption :)
Inferences: Time aligned, reinforced baffles? Heil or Planar Tweeter?

ElectronicVicesHa! Not that fancy, though you're right about time aligned :)
It's a pair of PMC Twenty.21, transmission line speakers. These speakers are acoustically invisible and the soundstage is multi-layered, perhaps the depth isn't as deep as some reference floorstanders (i.e. B&W Diamonds) but in some other ways it's better.
These have surprising authority for their size, I don't run them with subs and I've had a few audiophile friends comment "where is the bass coming from?" The bass is tight and not bloated, it's not like anything else I've auditioned, it has to be heard to be believed!
My main criticism with these speakers are the tweeters, they are a bit edgy sounding. Not as edgy as my HD800 but still edgy. On the plus side they are very clear, and resolving, but perhaps lacking of smoothness compared to Berylliums found on the Focals. I managed to tame the tweeters somewhat with tube rolling and room treatment.
Never been a fan of planars, whether they are headphones or speakers. Always found them a bit incoherent on some level. That's just my opinion though!
