Subs on stands
If you put your room dimensions into one of the room mode calculators on the ’net, you can see where in the room it’s modes and anti-modes are located (always but not exclusively at the wall/ceiling/floor intersections. Other locations are in the ... 
Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers
@steve59 what jbl wireless speakers are high end? 
tweeter replacement Magico S5
how much do you think these tweeters cost them to produce? 
Buy a pair of ten year old $40,000 speakers for $4,000 or new ones at that price point?

Dealers and exaggerated treble
@testpilot  I am talking about one channel being out of phase with the other.

Perhaps one of the upstream components inverted phase.  does not matter where the phase was inverted. It should be immediately obvious unless you have bad hearing or it was deliberate. 
Dealers and exaggerated treble
The issue as I found out several weeks later, was the extended break in period for these speakers which have a beryllium tweetsyou sure it wasn't the mains cable? That can make the sound pretty bright.

Frequency response + or - 1 dB ??
@ptss Its interesting to me that responses to this thread have virtually all been to say why frequency response is unimportant. No one has responded with any indication they know why it’s not practicable to make speakers with “flat” frequency resp... 
Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue.
My point being, thermal compression and thermal modulation (short-term thermal compression) are real things, but unfortunately that information is not widely known in the home audio world. It’s almost like a dirty little secret that speaker manufa... 
Is it time in your hobby to build a speaker kit?
or you could just modify an existing speaker by modifying its crossover preferably using an active one.  
Is it time in your hobby to build a speaker kit?
Do this to roll your own crossover out of exotic Teflon and copper foil. Active crossover is what you need if you're doing DIY. You can't experiment with the crossover as easily when doing passive.  
Frequency response + or - 1 dB ??
Would you please describe your current speaker syste, as well as any widely available commercial speaker you stan?I don't have a current system. None that meet my standards can be found for a reasonable cost or perhaps even at any cost. The last s...
