2way speakers

I did listen to the atc scm19. They are quite nice but still not really perfect. 

I did once listen to harbeth. Not really impressed. 

Please state your budget, partnering equipment and sound preferences.

I've found that budget doesn't really correlate with quality so I don't want to constrain my options by budget. I'm also different to most audiophiles here 
 I don't believe that cables matter or that amps make a huge difference. This is based on my experience. The speaker is what makes the most difference 

@shadorne

If it's as simple as differences in frequency response why not just buy a cheap speaker and an eq unit to adjust it to your liking? 

Why did I not like the cold sound of the green mountain audio chromas? 

What makes the speaker sound that way? 

@shadorne 

You're making the common mistake of judging the sound of a speaker entirely based on its response.

The fact of the matter is most hifi speakers I've seen reviewed in stereophile do have quite a flat response within a few db.

Why should anybody pay several thousand dollars more than a basic hifi speaker costing say 300 dollars if the only difference you're getting is a few db differences in the frequency response? 

B&W crossover a 6 inch woofer at 4 KHz (big mid range hole) and tend to boost their bass response too

B&w are using true phase cohesive first order filters so the discontinuity in off axis response is not as sharp as you think it is.

Anyway nobody should be listening in an untreated room so the importance of off axis response depends on your room acoustics.

If you move up to 3way in an attempt to even the polar response you now have further problems with trying to merge three drivers to make them sound coherent. You will need a bigger cabinet too.

As for boosting the bass, that's dependent on room and positioning too. There is no correct answer to how much boost there should be. You don't want the speaker to sound too thin or too warm or bassy. The response shown on the graph depends on how the measurement was taken

But you didn't mention any of those before. You simply chose to focus on the response.
