@audioman58 This is why I went with single driver speakers. For the record, I purchased Klipsch RP600M speakers prior. I hated them. Then I stumbled upon GR Research's teardown of the Klipsch RP600M. And yeah, the crossover couldn't be worse. The crossover actively scooped up the midrange with poor engineering design. So I went into the opposite direction towards single drivers without crossovers. And I'm convinced! For moderate/low volumes in a flat single driver speakers are perfect. Most of the music is in the midrange anyways...
Perhaps I am closer to "Hi-Fi" under $2k that way because I don't use an awful crossover? I am using EMS LB5 drivers FYI.
