What do you think of the new Linn Unidisk?
It is very simple to use. 
2+2+2 Multichannel
You are right about the differences between the Chesky and MDG setups. The Telarc, too, is different in that it has a single height channel multiplexed with the LFE channel. I also agree with PBB that it was unfortunate that compatibility with HT ... 
2+2+2 Multichannel
Chesky has also offered and promoted 2+2+2 recordings. 
2+2+2 Multichannel
Try their website. They have a white paper on the setups. 
Sub setup in acoustically dead room
It may be the size. It's possible that the larger room supported modes at lower frequencies to your taste/needs. The smaller room will have higher modes regardless of damping. 
5.1 bass management
I do agree with most of your analysis but you are suggesting an arrangement that is already a problem since there's no reason to use 100Hz on C and 60 on L/R unless the C is lacking. Phase problems will already exist. Using 100Hz for all is better... 
5.1 bass management
It is useful to have independant control of crossover frequency for all 5 channels even if the speakers are identical since their response is greatly influenced by room placement. 
Guilty pleasures and interesting music posts?
Black Dahlia (especially in MCH SACD) is beautiful. A bluesy, jazzy, sorta soundtrack on BlueNote. Gorgeous! 
Anyone aware of the problems with the Linn Unidisk
I've seen none of those glitches as yet. 
DVD-A monitor
Try one of the small LCD monitors with composite vidio inputs from RS, MCM, PartsExpress, etc. 
Center speaker placement
I suggest that you place the center channel over the TV and use it for video/cinema sources. If it's quite off center, switch to phantom-center for music. 
Freqency response
The problem with 'averages' in presbycusis is that the environment plays a very large role and that, of course, varies considerably. 
preamps that have sub connection ?
As long as the sub has line-in and line-out connections. 
Remove spring from RB300
Yes. Set it to 3. Then do all your balancing with the weight.
