High pass filter need
You are going to laugh. Seal the port with a t-shirt or old socks. This will raise the -f3 point, as well as reduce excursion below the port tuning frequency. This will not however reduce the amplifier load. To reduce the amplifier load you need a... 
Let's talk Tweeters!
Tim: I use much smaller AMT’s than that one, but yeah, they are still much larger than a dome. Yes, having a low crossover point is great, but you can find that in a number of good tweets for a lot less. Maybe down to 1.8 kHz though. It is a nice ... 
2/3 channel home cinema
OP:I’ve worked in motion picture auditorium sound and have experimented with this, as well as done quite a bit of reading. You can use a "phantom" channel, but, a center may sound better. The reasons is related to your head and how it affects soun...

BTW, top-end AMT tweets measure as well if not better, but are in the same price bracket too.

seanheis1:Magico's are also Be (with a graphite veneer). Same Scanspeak motor. The Focal's use a micro-motor which I normally dislike. B&W also uses a micro-motor tweet. They are designed to draw attention to themselves. Best,E 
What are the best Bluetooth headphones?

Another possibility is a bluetooth headphone amp. Mytek makes one but I am not sure on current stock:https://clefmusic.com/ 
The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers
gndrbob - I'm afraid I don't know much about full-range single driver speakers, you are better off asking in the DIY audio's full-range forum.Best,E 
Used 5.1 Reciever with Tidal
I had good luck with  Yamaha AGES ago.My experience with Onkyo and Emotiva were nearly identical: Really thought the sound was dead, cold, and bassless.

One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever?
Anyone for Primare?  
Is there actually a difference?
Hi VT! I don't think you should listen with your eyes. My point was for you to listen to each of them and see if you hear a difference. I think reading the tech and then convincing yourself you hear a difference is the wrong way to go. :) However,... 
Which is the better one of these two speaker systems?
In the bedroom, size matters, on the other hand, I've had CS mini speakers, and they were just OK. What about a Sonos?
