[QUOTE="battenfan, post: 909528, member: 239108"] If I had that kind of money I would search for studio monitors I'm a sucker for ribbon tweeters - at least the few I've heard. It's the transient response of them that I love. Just reading up on them I've learned that they are not all good as many have high distortion. It's a jungle out there. My dream speakers for now are Stage Accompany but those are far too expensive. I've also tried out (non-ribbon) Genelec that were great but lacked low end bass in my opinion. I can't imagine any speaker with less than a 12" woofer would provide close to full-range. But that's me. I would also try to return those mono blocks and go for active speakers. It's much easier to make crossover filters when you don't have to worry about power. You could even make digital filters. And it might be easier to make power amps too. You could have pwm amps for the low end for power efficiency and others in high end for fidelity. To get you started check out these if you can.

Oh, one warning about ribbon tweeters, they have bad dispersion vertically. [/QUOTE]
