It's not healthy when your ego is based on the lack of other people doing something and that you turn into a big baby when other people have fun in a way you don't approve of them having fun.

You're hurting yourself. Lose weight then do cool stuff. You'll live longer, too.

He way to deal with bass modes is subwoofers and room correction and sub management setup. You don’t have to worry about the main speakers interacting with the room then. You don’t want speakers “tailored” to your room. It doesn’t even make sense that someone would make them.

And subwoofers let you choose your bass radiation source independent of your mains that you want placed for imaging and soundstage.

Treatment for bass modes is often not really a great option for a living space because of the space and mass required due to the wavelengths involved.

Your sub means that you can get stand mount speakers no problem. If you got main speakers that dug deeper you'd be high passing them to fit into the response of your sub anyhow so basically paying for something you wouldn't use.

Make a trip to charlotte and listen to some brands - make it a fun trip. Don't commit to buying anything while you're there. You'll enjoy it - but remember speakers are INCREDIBLY dependent on their placement and room.
