"For speakers, I suggest 3-way designs; 2-way designs are inherently
compromised. For stand mount that are 3-way, the Wharfedale Jade 3 would
be a good choice. Read the review at Stereophile."
Speakers that are not time and phase correct are inherently flawed. That's why a pair of 2-way Model 1's will make those things sound defective.
"Also, floor standing speakers are fundamentally flawed regarding bass response, because you cannot place the bass driver where it needs to be in the room. This is a major benefit subwoofers."
Mine aren't. You need to try something different. I've never seen anyone have as many problems as you. You come up with so many issues with simple stuff, its incredible. There's more to audio than those "white papers" from Harman International and Stereophile reviews. Just become someone does things different doesn't mean the design is wrong. My systems reconstruct details from recordings that you don't know exist. (That's not meant as an insult. Its a simple statement of face.) You're never going to get any good at this if you keep doing the same things over and over.
