Darn, the search continues. 
What started you on the merry go round?
I had some extra money to spend. 
Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard
So Jaybo, were do you find the cizeks? 
Why so expensive??
Is this worth the price?mini-system chip amp for $1,100I guess it is because someone is willing to pay the price. 
Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular?
Ghasley, what did you end up with? 
ProAc budget level S.S. or Digital amp synergy?
Hi Efner, this was ~6 years ago but I read measurements as well as other people's listening experiences re. the 2.5 tweeter. I was also looking into the DIY version and they also referenced the tweeter problem.Can't document any of this so take it... 
Tis a sad, sad day...
Bummer, I was going to recommend these:Snell K7 $1,250or their bigger brother:Snell J7 $1,800I think they would go well with tubes. Hand made in Massachusetts.

Crossover-less Speakers
I did but have not heard any single driver that I could unconditionally recommend. All are idiosyncratic and you have to accept each's limitation, just like any speaker.I am now leaning to 2 way / no x-over like Epos, Andra I, etc. or Shadorne's s... 
the smoothest sounding speaker
Ozzy, tell me about it. I am also looking into Dynaudio MC15 active speakers too. They use A/b amps. No Flying Mole digital stuff. Then all I would need is to build a dual mono motorized Alps pot volume control. The Marantz CDP is sort of harsh al...
