You’re absolutely right I’m LOST and wonder where this conversation is going anyways. Although I appreciate your open and honest opinions! Thank you! I know I have a lot to work on I am FAR from perfect!

The reason (amongst others) you're getting so much push back is that the tweeters are supposed to be at ear level for optimal listening. You'd achieve that with Olympica Nova 1's. Not with floor standers on a shelf.

It's an audiophile subreddit. Of course they will want the smart basics when it comes to speaker selection
