full range or mini's and a sub
Full size speakers WITH subs is the correct answer. There needs to be a sound power hand-off between the sub and speaker. Most subs are far more dynamic than stand mount speakers, so the speaker will still be the limiting factor. There are excepti... 
Dog pissed on speaker
I would just leave the cone alone. The smell will fade, and messing with it will make it worse.   
Monitor audio platinum pl200 ii , revel f226be, or something else?
   
Monitor audio platinum pl200 ii , revel f226be, or something else?
Used or on sale Revels are hard to beat. At their retail prices there are options just as good (more different than better). I have never heard monitor audio but owned the 228be before moving onto the JBL 4367. The 228be sounds almost identical t... 
JL Audio Fathom
Well I am not from Florida but I am currently in Florida lol. But yes, I am pretty much at a 100% failure rate with JL audio. I wonder how much of an exception it really it.    When they broke the second time my shopped offered me a floor model w... 
Rockport Lyras
lol!   Pretty soon we can have “fake news” banners here too. The more banners the more real it is…  
JL Audio Fathom
No I would not switch. Doubtful the JL is much different from ML sound wise. I have had 5 (yes 5) failed JL E112s, friends don’t let friends by JL.   
JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers.
Kennymacc,   high praise for sure. I would like to hear/own them sometime. I wonder if they are using celestion Axi2050 compression drivers. The specs seem to match up.  
JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers.
The Jubilee has always looked interesting. The active crossover in the Jubilee allows for manual balance adjustment between the bass drivers and horn which is needed to use different amps. It also corrects the time domain. the 340hz crossover is i...

Mofojo,   that is good to hear. Does it show you the changes it makes before and after running the correction? Do you allow full bandwidth correction or limit it to a frequency (say 200hz and lower)?    
Off-axis compensated for by balance adjustment
None symmetrical toe in is worth a try too.     
Anyone Running Pro Speakers in your "High-End" System?
The JBL 4367 that I own uses pro drivers (D2 compression driver, 2116Nd-1). The D2 is straight out of the pro lien but the 2116 has a light modification in the surround. But turned for the home environment. I think that tuning helps as the dispers... 
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
I use high efficiency speakers with high power. Amps have come a long way and high power does not mean bad/noisy anymore. there is something about dynamics of high efficiency speaker but a lot of things are at play here too. Dispersion of the spe... 
Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active?
Expensive active speakers are a hard sell outside of the studio. At home I already own amps, I don’t want to buy another packaged with a speaker. In a studio where space and time are limited a package makes a lot more sense.   This guy compares t... 
low frequencies
Velocityofhue, I am glad it worked out with a relatively simple fix. Room boundary interference is a frustrating one that can make great equipment sound bad. Moving the seat is 100% a practical solution that works if you have the space. the 3.6’...
