thank you all for your replies.
i am experimenting with different distance from front wall, grilles off... and software equalizer.
the simple tweak that i like is when i totally plugged the bass reflex port with some rolled cotton cloth.

i installed tone generator to help me diagnose the recessed midrange sound i am experiencing.
will see but i definitely need more power to solve this...
btw did anyone try pipe organ on these? very dramatic sound!

tend to cost more.

that he prefered them over that likes of the >
