As for audio problems, you are correct, I really have to sit back and think about what to do.  Sure I want to improve what is now lacking.... soundstage, imaging and depth.  As for the sound, of course, I like the sound of horns but I have to sit in a precise spot (i.e not move my head) to get decent soundstage and imaging. Can I afford to spend more time and money to experiment with crossovers, digital EQ and other voodoo components (Z sleeves, ionizer, crystals, sound traps, super tweeters, Be diaphragms, Bybee filters, silver fuses, etc.... I have these) or have I reached the point where I should move back to solid state and Magnepan 3.7's.  I want to keep things simple.  I will search this site for more information (about digital EQ and other avenues related to horn speakers) and hope to gain some insight as to how far I want to take this.
Move your Edgarhorns further from the back wall and treat the back wall - it will give you the depth of imaging. To “sit in a precise spot” – that it absolutely normal – this is how all audio works, Are you planning to play golf while you are listening your Bruckner? While do you care about imaging if you are playing golf? If you care about imaging then be where the imaging shal be…

You will not find any useful information about digital EQ at this site. If you would like to play stupid games with DSP phase faking in order to get “more stereo” than you can bit it has nothing to do with digital EQ. BTW, digital EQ is not “other avenues related to horn speakers” but rather the refuge of horn speaker’s bottom eaters.
