You have 8 engineers in a company and you post this here. I can come up with 2 conclusions: 1) you are concerned that full range speakers are turning a corner and may cut into your products materially or, 2) you have no faith in your engineers to solve your problems with the concept.
If I were 1 of your engineers and read your post I would be in your office asking a lot of questions and making a proposal and likely venting and being insulted.
What you have done with no disclosure that you are a competing manufacturer does not sit well. I find it so very odd that as a manufacturer you would personally buy something of such a nature for personal use. I suspect it came company funds as company expense, likely against the r&d budget. As a personal speaker system, it would be an embarrassment to tell others when asked that you do not use your own product in your own system.
When I owned my stores no product I did not sell was in my home non-vintage system. If we dropped a brand, if I had a model in my system, it came out and was replaced by a current model from a manufacturer we were a dealer of. For certain customers, they were invited home for auditions and I would be embarrassed if so.e competitor's product was in the system.
When I was with Genesis their totl speaker was not as good as the lowlyest speaker I owned but I did have a pair in a 2nd system to placate the boss.
