Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
It's hard to imagine how they could manufacture something like that for only $500. Probably done in China with people making about $300 dollar for the entire month. And they probably would just dump whatever waste products right into the sewa...

I have these with built in DSP for just a few hundred $$$s and they sound absolutely wonderful. @mapman I have the same, did not know there was any sort of DSP aside of the low cut filter when connecting an external subThey sound very good, wonder... 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
Then they are running higher than 80Hz.Yeah that is a typical mistake I made myself years ago running them at 120 sometimes 150 and below, looking back, what was I thinking?

Time to move UP, speaker-wise...
For the OP, I’m just trying to help here and I have been where you areYou are getting many recommendations for speakers but @listening99 maybe I missed something but could you please list your system? Amplification type and power? Without it IMO a... 
Need 20 - 25 foot spk cables.
@gammastrep if you can afford moving the amps close to the speakers the balanced interconnects from the preamp or source are not expensive, you don't need to go with special balanced cables, if you're equipment is balanced and differential take ad... 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
@phusis apologies in advance as you were addressing someone else, I understand the bass augmentation can be achieved easily with the distributed array, there is such a thing as too much bass, in my array (4x10 inches not morels) I have to tune dow... 
Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs?
@audioman58 from your post would you recommend the Jantzen audio inductors or if not which? I was under the impression their foil inductors were very good but again you've been an expert in this area I rather have your opinion  
Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs?

Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?
Had Elacs B6 running along klipsch p37s side by side, the sound was more "filling" but Soundstage was gone, reflections everywhere, and this was a rectangular high ceiling room, personally didn't like it, I moved to a new house and my room is a "d... 
Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000
Cayin owners, A88T vs A100T? Can you roll kt120 150s on the cayin? The quicksilver seems to be better at this and @pepepizarro could have more fun rolling tubes as well
