I owned the 2ax's, too - bought them new. I was never happy with the mids - that mid-range driver always struck me as a little rough, and that made them much less listenable than I had hoped. (I remember listening to them in a dealer's showroom compared to comparably sized/priced "Aztec" speakers. The AR's sounded like someone threw a blanket over them, similar to what you call "lacking in clarity". If I'd listened to my ears and not AR's marketing, I'd have bought the Aztecs.)

I soon sold the AR's and replaced them with large Advents, which remained my primary speakers for over 20 years.
