RE: With these observations...

I'd never heard much of a soundstage at all!

That's a concept that has many facets. What I find important is for the harmonics of an instrument to sound like it's coming from the same place as the fundamentals. Which is where consistent directivity comes into play.

...the driver arrangement on the KLH-9's is clumsy.

In that regard, I confess a decided preference for truly full range designs. The 9 is an electrostat that runs full range, but is not a full range electrostat as it has multiple frequency specific drivers. Hearing the Dayton-Wrights in '76 introduced me to that distinction. It had eight panels, but they were identical and covered the same range. And mounted in a slight arc to improve dispersion.
