acoustic treatment?
You may be experiencing quarter wave cancellations off the rear wall (= comb filter at listening position) and room modes.Quarter wave cancellatons (troughs and bumps) can be reduced by moving the speakers away from the wall. Unfortunately, due to... 
can the Behringer have multiple settings?
Do you have some examples of specific rock tracks that sound bad? Can you describe the poor sounding problem (with Rock)?

By selecting appropriate sand grain size then you might be able to tune the sand to sing along with your favorite tracks....http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8014LOL

Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V?
Chris,Long reverb time can be mitigated with plenty of acoustic treatment...if you can accept to hang many panels around the room (especially the rear wall behind your listening position).... 
Experience Loading Speakers w/ sand or shot
I would be concerned about putting this in a speaker as you have just created an internal acoustically reflective interface in the speaker box and changed the compressability by replacing compressable air with much less compressable sand (air volu... 
Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V?
This reference type speaker is often used for monitoring/mastering; IMHO, stick with the Dunlavy V's (provided you like their straight forward accurate qualities).IMHO, some reasons to change might be;1) if you were to move and the V's were simply... 
Loudspeakers that go LOUD?
These are a tough load for a tube amp...change the tube amp for an SS amp with 250+ WPC and your beloved Linbrooks will sing.... 
Speaker cable for Green Mountain Audio Callisto
You would be hard pressed to out-class them (Callistos) with anything you could put in front of them regardless of pricetag. Would you recommend selling larger and much higher priced speakers and use the proceeds on more expensive cables and the ... 
Speaker cable for Green Mountain Audio Callisto
IMHO, I agree with several of the above suggestions to spend much more on the speaker and much less on the cables (10:1 ratio, Speaker to Cable, is probably more than generous enough for the cable, especially if they are driven by an SS amp). Afte... 
Genelec Speakers opinions
If clarity, accuracy, dynamics and ability to play loud with correct timbre is your thing... then either is a great choice. Bass will be lean and tight...the 1037C can be soffit mounted for even better performance. (Personally I would go for the t... 
differences between tube and solid state designs
Jea48,Agreed, many love that tube sound....and changing ics and speaker cables on SS gear is not very likely to achieve teh same. 
How to balance tube on top, solid on the bottom?
Many pro power SS amps have sensitivity pots (my Bryston 4B does). You can adjust these to match the level in your tubes.Biamping is probably only worth the trouble if you eliminate the passive crossover in the speakers. I hope you are planning to... 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
Sgt Pepper was indeed a milestone....a studio album that took you on a journey rather than just a collection of songs...IMHO, it kind of helped to create the rock opera era that followed where artists embellished and further explored the concept. 
The Search
Bartokfan,I was wondering why speakers that are designed from the molecular level up, would use a third party driver. However, this may only be marketing talk...
