I believe my point was "I've replaced the speakers in the equasion and had the particular problem go away: therefore the issue is with the speakers themselves or with the interaction between the speakers and the room".
Ok, understood now. Other monopoles in the same spot did not have the same issues that these do. That's very odd, unless the DCX settings are incorrect.
What measurement software/hardware are you using?

cheers,

DCX issues bay indeed be to blame... and is certainly part of where I'm looking for a solution. One problem is that I've not yet been able to do measurements in my room. I was working with Chris before he dropped off.

I've got the laptop and mic, but no source for phantom power for the mike yet. They were set prior to arrival here.

I see. When my schedule simmers down (hopefully) in a couple weeks, we'll get them all sorted out.

Jerry, it's a shame you never got to measure the response. I had them working perfectly on my DCX(since yours was not functioning properly at the time) but we never did verify settings on your DCX. I did save the file, and also have a text file with settings noted also, if you want to check all of the settings in the DCX manually. There is also the issue that no matter what, you need to make settings specifically to get the bass correct in your room.

I could lend you a behringer mixer if you still need phantom power for your mic. It's a Xenxy 802; I used to use it on an aux. computer for measurements but since then I aquired an E-mu 0404 USB unit that I use for measurements so the 802 is just sitting around unused. Let me know if you need to borrow it.

BTW, since I did not see the measurements of the modified Primus 362 speaker linked in this thread, here are links to the measurements for anyone that is interested.

Merged near-field sweep and gated response, full-range response:


Gated response, on and off axis in 15 degree increment out to 90 degrees(note the 3.5kHz notch that develops off axis; this is unavoidable artifact caused by the protruding lip/border around the Primus cabinet face and it's reaction with the wide dispersion tweeter):

CSD, 27dB range from graph floor to averaged SPL:
