Proper drivers for intended applications"A constant theme

[Zilch]

But what I don't subscribe to is the fact I cannot make a FAR superior system using the same drivers (properly grouped of course) when I have none of the constraints that limited JBl to make the overall product superlative in the first place. Correct?

Highly unlikely. You can make incremental improvements to the apparent constraints you've highlighted, and some others, perhaps, but the order of magnitude improvement which you postulate here is an unrealistic expectation.

It has taken nearly a year and a half of conscientious learning and experimentation, much of it documented in this forum, for me to get to the point where I can competently assemble even a two-way that measures and sounds decent.
