Well... when I had model 6s (3+3s if you will), I had them bi-amped. They were driven with interfaces at the time, one amp/interface drove the top three panels, and antoer amp/interface drove the bottom there panels. One day I played just the upper panels. The effect is more hall ambience, more room excitement. Later I had stacked Monitor 4s with servo amps. That was a killer setup, but I needed a very large room. Now my listening room doesn't have high enough ceilings for stacked Acoustats, and I really don't miss the upper panels. You really only get a few more DB with the added panels anyhow.

As for the panel angle - I tend to like slightly angled panels. maybe you could make a frame that allows you to experiment with that? Also, have you considered using the two 9" panels from your Xs as the bottom level, and placing the 8" panel above? A 2+1?

Ultimately I think the Xs, Monitor 3s, and Model 3s are the ultimate Acoustat for Servo amps. Monitor 4s if you have the room.
