Just another pair of small boxes with what seems like some fairly good
drivers in them. Glad they are working out for you so well!

LOL! Who do you think you are???

Crispness is not something that would be my main criteria in selecting a
speaker. It is not even in the top 3. I ask myself how close the
speakers come to a live performance. Of course, nothing is perfect, so
there may be other tradeoffs involved such as imaging, extended bass
response, etc.

I suggest that you go to a symphonic concert that features a well known
piece that you like. Listen to the instruments individually and
collectively. Does the kettle drum at the concert sound the same through
your system? Triangle? Harp? etc. Then actually score your system.
What are its strengths and weaknesses? What traits are most important to
you? How does that relate to the speaker's strengths and weaknesses based
on design? For example, cone and dome speakers are a different beast than
a horn based system and as such they have different strengths and
weaknesses.

I spent a fair amount of research time before went to audition speakers.
I am still extremely happy with my decision after 2 years of daily use. I
may upgrade to the "top of the line", but that will set me back over $10k
per pair, so I am saving my money.

Care to disclose that decision?

I don't think it really matters. The important part is to reseach available
designs, learn the strong and weak points and then make an informed decision
before auditioning. If one cannot or will not make an effort in researching
various designs, then time and money is generally wasted.
