Thanks for your info. My thoughts are that Dynaudio improved their performance as far as coherence when they changed to the 6 db/octave crossovers in their 6aII compared to their earlier model 6a's which have high slope crossovers. Perhaps that was part of the problem you described with their older model 15a, as well.
I have older PSB speakers with high slope crossovers and if I listen critically I can notice the phasiness or smearing that you mention.
As far as Klein and Hummel or Neumann, I am familiar with the names, but that is all. This is really my first exploration into professional gear, so I will check them out.
Follow Ups:
To my ears the 'smearing' with DynaudioAcoustics is due to the shallow crossover slopes.
It is not apparent to me with monitors using the standard 24dB L-R slopes as they are in phase and have a better transient response than shallower alternatives (incl Dynaudios older12/6 and current 6/6 lp/hp versions).
The only speakers which get away with using low order slopes I have heard were co-axials.
And what is your standard of performance in "non smearing" speakers in the $1500 to $3000 per speaker pair active category?
The ones I heard: BM5, BM6. I very much preferred their BM15.
Since I got a set of rather large active 4way full-range monitors I have not very much interest in the $1.5k-3k range anymore.
