Here I am, 'OM' coming from speakers... I though of an experiment for you:
Take those speakers you're disappointed with and put them outside somewhere you can - along with some version of your gear you can move. Don't get too wound up about the techie stuff...
You will be blown away. It's ILLUMINATING
Don't get too tripped up from the loss of bass but listen to the midrange 'timing' or 'pacing' you're complaining about.... on high end speakers I bet the resonances and smearing you hear are GONE. Speakers in this day and age typically aren't the problem now adays...
