If you insist on using Pro Audio speakers for your home theater rig, at least get something that will actually perform well in this application.

Thanks for the advice. I will check out those speakers.

Monitors are what I thought would be the best choice. The LSR 6332 is 3K for a pair and that is more than I can budget for the next month or three.  .  I am just looking for a happy ( not too expensive ) medium .

But speaking of the LSR - "Dynamic Braking"  -  is that really a useful feature?   Why would you need that with a high damping factor?

Here is the blurb:

252G Low Frequency Transducer
The neodymium 12" woofer is based on JBL patented Differential Drive® technology. With the neodymium structure and dual drive coils, power com- pression is kept to a minimum to reduce spectral shift as power level increase. An added third coil between the drive coils acts as a dynamic brake to limit excess excursion and reduce audible distortion at the highest levels. The cone is made of a graphite polypropylene composite forming a rigid piston supported by a soft butyl rubber surround.

Its all marketing hype to get you to pay for something that they were going to include anyway.

Heres a thought. Go to a store and blindly pick out a few speakers and listen to them. Pick the ones YOU like best. Not the ones that tell you to like them best.
