Aerial 10T MK2 switch to active xover and/or more?


Did anybody switch to electronic crossover in these speakers?
I fairly recently boght these speakers and still in the quest of getting from them the best sound.

First my consern was about dedicated Sound Anchor stands, but elevating them didn't seem to be the good idea to me since my listening height is aligned with speaker position.

My second and consern is overemphisized bass. I think that crossover point to woofer should be lowered. I might also think that isolating bass cabinette from the floor placing them onto Sound Anchor stands, but not sure of the magnitude.

Please share your thoughts
Thanks!

Speakers are currently driven with 2xSunfire SRA in biamplified configuration, Classe 30 preamp. Listening Distance = Distance between speakers =~5'6". Ceiling height = 9'4"

The room is 15 long x 18 wide'. Speakers are standing along the wide wall approx 2" from it. My interior placement restrict me from placing each speaker equally from side walls so the right speaker has an acoustic pannel next to it. The left speaker is standing 2.5" from the side wall and also blocked by acoustic pannel.
Thanks for suggestions. The system had been moved to a different room, but before I've never experiensed these problems.
Sunfire amps are fair contenders to Bryston or Classe ones but with substantially lower price and I like them together with my little super clean Classe 30 preamp. What's done so far is tightening the speaker drivers all of them and moved 1" further from the rear walls. In my vinyl set up I've adjusted VTA. So far the balance is substantially better. Now I've got to the point of loading speakers with lead shot or truely placing them onto the stands. Sound Anchors are probably to tall... Is there any other good options?

Thanks to all!
OOPS in my previous comment I meant 1' further totalling to almost 3' away from the wall.
Now they're 5' appart and my listening distance is 5'.
Only after spending quite a while of listening to 10t I realized I needed to break my promise not to upgrade.
They've replaced my Totem Forest for just $1500/pair. I admit that they are much tougher to set up and need more attention.
Placement is one of the MOST important values for this speaker to sound right. When it's placed right it's very hard to beat them with 10x money spent.
