I pretty much agree with you but differ in some key areas.Rather than purchasing 49 cent midranges, I prefer buyout models that listed for the vicinity of $11 to $18, and the use of a lot of Dayton Neo 20A tweeters(like 30 per side).
The use of that many tweeters drops the distortion way way way down, and I happen to prefer the sound of dome's anyway.
The use of a decent buyout midrange in groups of 17 plus raises the quality of the mids also. I then use a quality($130 or so) model 12 inch woofer for each side of the bass range.
But to each his own. I MIGHT be willing to try the B&G Neo3 some time.......
