HELIOS Speaker Kit
@boostedis ​​​​​​ Thanks so much for sharing!   I have drawn myself a "flat pack" on AutoCAD and sent the DXF files to a professional cabinet maker who will cut it out of Baltic Birch plywood on his CNC router!  Have not ordered the drivers, but... 
Maggie LRS amping question
If you love what you have that is Something special.  As I am aging  closer to the "Get off my lawn" type, I am loathe to have a product that is telling me to buy more products!  Unless you have the money to spare, and enjoy spending it, I would n... 
Maggie LRS amping question
If you love them now, don't change anything, maybe begin to save up for a similar product that is larger, as others have said.  If you think they need to do better,  i agree with trying different amps.  From my own experience, it is not the price ... 
Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please
I admit I did not read everyone else's answer, so apologize if I am repeating something. First, what are your main speakers?  Some main speakers need a sub more than others. A really good sub will be better at the lowest octave than pretty much ...

No frills speaker manufacturers
My personal experience, jumping back to 1994: Purchased MTM set of parts mid, tweeter, mid from Dynaudio. Purchased 12" woofers from Focal.  (these 2 companies no longer sell to hobbyists but a lot of other great companies still do) Purchased c...

For example:  Buchardt S400 MK II A direct to consumer speaker, so less profit margin than most other companies. All the rage on youtube review channels, everybody absolutely LOVES it Said to have much better crossover parts than any speaker in...

Kit speakers are precisely what you want.  Look up CSS Audio, GR Research, Madisound, & Meniscus.  Some even come with flat pack (wood already cut to size) and/or preassembled crossover boards.  You can not even come CLOSE  to the same parts q... 
Beryllium Tweeters - Your Opinions & Comments ??
The Fritz seems like a good suggestion.  Interesting the current version of the Carrera seems to be using SB tweeter now  
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
Great choice!  i have seen reviews of Gershman.  They are a unique company, made in Canada.  I believe they have a recording studio adjacent to their manufacturing facility and often check back and forth to ensure the speakers are making music tha... 
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
Some responses above have mentioned room treatments whether physical or digital (Dirac).  Also, many reviewers online are praising it endlessly.  Definitely something to think about if you are getting new electronics.  I believe Buchardt actually ...

I forgot to mention above:. CSS Audio and GR Research, a couple more fine sources for kits.    
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
@fredcdobbs you are 100% correct about resale value of kit speakers.  I don't know anything about how to flip equipment without losing money.    
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
...for those who dismiss the KIT idea with no second thoughts let me illustrate something i learned by going through the parts catalogs: if you want to replicate a BUCHARDT S400 MKII yourself you will spend $71 for each woofer, $200 for each twee... 
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
You might consider KIT speakers.  If you don't want to build the box yourself, there are people who would build them for you of course for a price.  Budget of $10K could get you anything you desire from Madisound, Meniscus, etc... You will probabl...
