Make sure you upgrade those crossovers in there as they were using quite basic and cheap circuits to save money. You might need to use an active crossover  
Interesting situation! Do we need this....

One pair for the tweeter and the other for the woofer. There are two pairs in case you want to biwire or biamp in which case you remove the jumpers.     
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
  @phantom_av  Quested Studio Monitors would put a lot of high end speakers to shame, They are just wooden boxes with drivers in them. You cant expect groundbreaking performance by using the same old technology.   
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
very flat response on axis, well controlled off axis ie good dispersion and low distortion when the speaker is used within its limits. These are characteristics of all good speakers "studio" or home. Flat speakers dont sound good to most folks ...

What artist wants playback to be anything other than sonically extraordinary?   Most commercial pop records have levels that are clipping and the artists dont care. All they want is the loudest mix so that it stands out. Quantity over quality. ...

And that 3" super midrange dome driver is just an engineering marvel, if you ask me. It would be a marvel if it was a 1 inch dome and could go down to 400hz. Unfortunately it cant so its wrong. And because its wrong, you need to add another dam...

Another quote I can't listen to 75% of my record collection without thinking 'this production sounds wrong'  
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
ATC are known for their dome mid driver. This is what they are most famous for and supposedly this dome has magical properties. The idea of splitting the signal into parts has the advantage of being able to deisgn drivers which are optimized to r... 
Custom Tuning Conspiracy
@mitch2  A high end speaker costing $20k typically comprises parts costing a fraction of that. So there is a lot of profit being made. Profitability has never been a problem. We already deserve better products for what we pay, not higher prices. ... 
Custom Tuning Conspiracy
@kennyc  Trying to design speakers to match each customer's "subjective" tastes is NOT an easy task - how do you know what I like?  Thats exactly my point. They dont know what we like. Therefore all speakers are just based on guesswork. Which ...
