Hey, those look like my drivers....

Try a bigger cabinet with a port with the Seas. The port might be a bitch to make because of lack of space. That will open up the Seas a bit - give it some and dynamics, even in the mids. The Seas are extremely inefficient once baffle step is considered, so it will never be a super dynamic and lively sounding driver.

Another consideration if you don't play super loud... drop the x-over of down to 1600Hz. Those Scanspeak tweeters will handle it. They are very slightly horn loaded after all. Those are one of the best tweeters I've ever heard.

BTW, the 305 is still way better than any headphone <$1000. Highly recommend for headphone lewsers who are interesting in getting into real hi-fi

Goddamnit. I have been struggling with the realization that speakers are actually fucking awesome. I was lurking the wide world trying to figure out where to start. I remembered chatter about the yamaha hs5/8 and the jbl 305/8, then I remembered the negmonitor thread, and then I read this specific line. There should probably be a thread dedicated to "so you've decided to buy  a gun speakers..."

The journey continues:

Can't use ARTA here because of crossover needs.
