Yes, I remember the review of the Kingsound. You were pointing out that it had substantially more dynamic might and far less high freq kazoo noise and better dispersion at high freq than we are used to from flat stats. I was hoping for an indication that it has sufficient bass extension and dynamics to do a realistic front seat perspective of a full orchestra going full tilt. I didn't get that impression from the review. Considering how you described the Whisper, your description of the Kingsound indicated it would still not do it even with a pair of subwoofers. But it was very obviously the kind of thing you were after and had sufficient dynamics and extension for your purposes.
There is an EQ trick from Linkwitz to focus the center image of planars by introducing an HRTF mimicking dip in freq response at 1-4 khz. I employ it when listening from PC and it works. It is not necessary on vinyl.
I use a Tympani IV with a neo8 midrange array.
