RE: Having midrange failure issues, anyone else?

Your room is rather large so would require more speaker output to fill it out even at "reasonable" listening levels.

The speaker design is a compromise so the power handling has to be traded off against coherence (how far down you take the midrange) and detail -which means the thinness and weight/area of the mids - which also reduces thermal stability and tensile strength. For your size room they may have gone too far in taking down power handling in favor of refinement. Fortunately for you, you have the ability to cut the mids out more sharply with the 200hz LR4 XO boards.

Tell us what it sounds like with the sharper XO once you finished adjusting toe in etc. to the new XO.

Hopefully that is the last mid panel you burn..
