speaker driver matching??
psacanli, i think you and i are talking about two different things. you are talking about matching drivers in the same cabinet with a crossover, while i am talking about matching the same driver in all cabinets. ie the tweeter in both speakers so ... 
Diff. between "monitor" & "full range" speaker?
Full range is typically defined as a speaker that reproduces frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Most floor standing speakers can't reproduce that full range.A monitor speaker typically refers to a speaker that needs a stand or a bookshelf to be ... 
bookshelf or floorstander
Regarding midrange, upper end, and imaging, you get more, dollar for dollar with a book shelf than you do with a floor stander. With the book shelf, you aren't paying for the extra cabinet that goes to the floor, or the design of the bass portion ... 
speaker driver matching??
Unless I'm confused, what you are asking is impossible. When doing DIY speakers, you can buy "matched pairs" of drivers. This is where the supplier goes through their large supply of drivers and picks ones that are close in value to each other and... 
speaker wood care
So, sealing doesn't work, but you admit that it helps alot. OK.Nothing is perfect in this world. I never said it blocked moisture transmission 100%.I'd like to hear from members in las vegas that have veneer cracking issues with their commercially... 
What time do you wear?
I'm confused by "Rolexes are fine as an everyday watch but they don't hold a candle to IWC in terms of cool". According to who? The IWC does nothing for me. It's true that it may be more rare on the street than a Rolex, but so what. I guess rare m...

speaker wood care
wood likes to be dry. It's moisture that causes a problem. You will get lots of recommendations, mostly from people who are not wood workers. I wouldn't apply anything. 
Two subs, yes or no?
If a sub is operating at its intended range, you should really only need two when the output from one is not enough. Subs should be crossed over as low as possible, and I believe anything below around 80 Hz is omnidirectional. Meaning, humans can'...

FWIW, B&W also owns Rotel. 
Recommend Me Some Speakers

Top 5 Entry-level audiophile speakers $1500-2000?
Studio 60's from paradigm are nice speakers, for sure. But, on the used market, they are just over 1000 dollars, and your maximum was up to 2000 dollars. You can do better than the studio 60's for 2000 dollars. I would say your room is big enough ... 
Build my own speakers?
Superior results can be acheived through DIY if you let a professional design the crossover, OR, you invest in a bunch of testing equipment. Meniscus, as Mitch2 pointed out, is a good option. Better than Madisound, as Meniscus actually measures th... 
What integrated to match with Yaras?
Musical Fidelity A3 or X-150 would be on the top of my list for sure. Next would be the Audio Refinement Complete.
