Not exactly like that but you could program something along those lines.
JRiver is just a (capable) music player with standard DSP features, on top of that you can load VST's for creating endless possibilities.
One can add all kind of tools to do as you like.
Don't take anything I said as an insultThe claim inside here that I just copy paradigm and hope for the best I take as a direct insult.... it may be the other way around....
What I am looking for is just something to play music very well, without compromise and any dynamic limitations, whatever is being fed in there
Space and size constraints imply that I probably need to go "compact"
The point was to say look at the drivers they used in that design. There was a reason for that. Use that to inform your own design.Maybe define what "compact" means to you and how much space you have to use.
Take wesayso's subs, they had to fit in the space available the constraints limited the options.
For me? Yes, because it is too large.
Bummer...it works so well...hey, only 19"x 19" x ?"
No column, no fuss.
And no having to fool with leaving linearity.... until house resonances clearly become a bigger issue
I've never really got into Jazz, however I do tend to like Jazzy songs if you know what I mean.
I do love things like Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald etc. but I'd gather that under the things I picked up due to this strange hobby.
There is so much more out there that's wonderful, too much to mention. I tend to like the older recordings, in comparison the 80's were a lot of hit and miss.
But some new stuff is fun too, like Rival Sons and I do have some new Pop songs I throw in that hit it big on the Radio. Some of those image quite nice despite being crippled in dynamic range. They actually are listenable.

I'd like to keep my family and stay in this relationship

Fair enough brother
i hereby withdraw my recommendation (hey, don't laugh...but i think i'm up to around the equivalent of 24 single prosound 18"s...gave up on the relationship stuff long ago !!)

I think compact .... is relative and much larger than what most better halve's would consider compact. It's really up to find what suits acoustically and also estetically as I work with my residential living room.
My better half thought that Sonus Faber Aida sized speakers would be good so I don't seem to have any sizing constraints coming from that side (I would never ever be able to afford those speakers though, and that's also way too large)
The short answer is that I don't know yet as I am in the process of building the layout of the living room of a flat I recently bought. At some point I need to do some real size mockup's to see how things work physically and couple that to simulations for a start
Maybe I will make a limited size prototype with one or two drivers with same relative volume size for the drivers and test out how they are doing
