Horizontal vs Vertical biamping
@backdoor  It seems that the crowd is pushing you towards active electronic crossover 😀. They are right. Look into it, and when ready, give it a try. It’s worth the trouble. It will be an eye opener.   
Room tuning or listen to as is condition?
For frequencies between 20HZ and about 250HZ your room will be the dominant factor. Although I use an array of 4 subs, I still used REW and some room treatment to get the best bass my money can give me. Strangely, getting the bass right did a lot ... 
EgglestonWorks Andra in nearfield?
Nothing mini about these speakers. They were not designed for near field listening. Try to audition them before buying. They need room to breathe. Good luck.

Horizontal vs Vertical biamping
When you are ready to go next level, try an electronic crossover. No rush though since you are happy with the sound as is now. You will thank me later 😀. Your wires are fine. Morrow is a good and proud establishment. Enjoy. You have respectable ge... 
Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
@ghasley is absolutely right. No one build a new house and worry about where to put his gears later. Unless he doesn’t really like audio. That’s a lifetime opportunity. The poor wife might even have nothing to do with the ordeal. She might just be...

My experience has been similar to yours. Are you using an active x-over?

Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
She sold my B&W 802s when we moved but thinks the McIntosh stuff looks cool so that can stay.   Maybe it would be wise to let her pick the next set of speakers for you. Sounds like you got very little input in what is going on.   
Using the XBox
@christian  You are correct, I was reading Xbox but thinking PlayStation. Sorry.   
Good cassette player?
Save your money. Most likely these cassettes are not usable anymore. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, sorry.   
What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers?
@djones51    Nice response. What’s the smoothing on that graph?  
What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers?
@monacousticusa    I consider design first. I know I don’t like crossovers, so a crossover-less design would have my attention. I don’t care for big woofers because I am going to use multiple subs anyway.  Lastly, I don’t have a big room, so hug... 
What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect?
@jumia  But I see higher end RCA cables with two conductors and ground wire. Which is better? How would one know?  Wouldn’t one have to try both first before answering this question?  If two conductors happens to sound better, wouldn’t every c... 
Thinking INSIDE the Box.
Way too many words. 😀
