Steve,
Your questions are difficult, especially considering the vast design differences between the Katana, MBL and Dali Megaline.
Based on what I've heard at shows (since I've obviously not had all these in my home) the Katana is likely the most focused image. It will throw a small image compared to the MBL and Dali but more precise and lower height.
The MBL will be the most spacial but (in my opinion) with phase and tonal balance issues.
The Dali will be the least effected by the room and will likely have the most "walk through" sound stage of the three, especially on properly recorded classical music.
If you want super deep bass the Dali requires subs. That being said I owned mine for years with no sub and never knew what I was missing since they do well to 30-35 Hz.
As for tube crossover, had I not gone this direction, the Dali would have been sold long ago. I could not live with Megaline with the factory crossover.
The guy that built all three of my tube crossovers is Tom Tutay. Tom does not have a website or even an email address (I know, I've tried to explain to him).
Tom's phone number is 850-244-3041. I can call and ask questions on your behalf since you are so far away, but I am neither technically nor financially involved with Tom in any way.
That being said, Tom is a friend, an excellent technician and all around great guy.
