Potential upgrade path…
Vthokie Thank you very much for your input. I will check my carpet and see what kind it is. Also, I may be able to do some more room treatments. And I will also look into some stand mount speakers. Ghdprentice suggested some Sonus Fabers in an ear...

Bigkidz If you were me and you had my gear what component would you start with? What order would you upgrade? I would rather not do it all at once. Thanks.    Ronbo Currently I don’t have a room. We have built a large porch and a sunroom lately s...

It did not seem to make much difference to my ear. It’s possible I didn’t give it enough time though but I thought I did. I also got a bit of  blowback from my better half. So I probably gave up before testing to the utmost.

Spenav No worries and thank you for your input. I will see what I can learn about active xover systems.   
Horizontal vs Vertical biamping
Spenav you got that right. Overwhelming the support for active crossover. I may need to find an active crossover guru opening up those speakers is not something I am currently comfortable with. Whew.
