Finally found THE SPEAKER!!!
BTW, Drew, you may be interested in the fact that the original BG Radia company (from which Wisdom spun off) was bought by Christie - primarily for the IP and planar driver technology. As you know, Christie is a major movie theater display/speaker...

@drewdeYou asked about suggested amps. VTV or Apollon are two manufacturers who can customize exactly what configurations you want and at economical prices - particularly given the number of channels you’re going to require!I must also correct my ... 
Finally found THE SPEAKER!!!
Take a look at VTV or Apollon for US based makers of multichannel Hypex or Purifi based amps. You could have them customize exactly what you want - 500 watts for bass, 250 or 125 for tweeter sections, etc. But you’re probably gonna need to use Wis...

drewde,I have salivated over Wisdom Audio for years. Decades actually. The closest I came were some BG Radia 520dx made by Bohlender Graebener at the turn of the millennia. BG manufactured the planar units for Wisdom, started by Graebener when he ...

I have to say that I wish I had the hearing that many here seem to have that they distinguish the subtlety of cables, etc. However, it is probably a good thing. What I experience is addictive enough as it is. Were my ears that good, I’d likely nev... 
Does Age Matter?

tmsrdg,I've been hunting a SI-1 Integrator for some time. Learning now that they have reliability problems may cause me to reconsider that. I have both the passive PX crossovers but find the "normal" XLR input to be much too bass shy. My solution ... 
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
I concur that OP’s problem will likely be solved with a different modem/router. My Bluesound experience with iOS control is rock solid and a pleasure (although BluOS did require - as all new OS does - some getting used to). KEF and Devialet suppor... 
How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers?
With regard to ozzy62’s comments concerning maintaining precise placement (to 1/4 inch!)... I always wonder when I read such advice - how does one maintain, let alone reproduce such precise head positioning?  
Best 40 to 50k used speakers
Meridian DSP8000SE? Save $$$ - no amp (or cables) necessary.

At least they had discriminating taste... unusual for bikers.
