One has the DSP set to "deep" and the others didn't.

I'd agree that it's likely a DSP setting difference between the two speakers, but have you also tried swapping cables between the two to make sure it's not coming from your source?

I think your caps lock is stuck.

Did you check the contour switches as mentioned in the other replies?

The GC people are not exactly correct and GC is generally an unreliable source for sound issues.  There will be different response from free-standing speakers and speakers which are coupling with more than one boundary, but you should really check that both speakers are set the same before you start throwing more of your hard-earned down the GC hole.

Seeing that you say you DJ, I'd suggest sticking with the 152s.  Assuming that you're mobile, the 152s will be a lot easier to transport and mount on a stand.  It can be done, but the 152s are more portable in my opinion.  Otherwise, they'll be very similar in output and quality.  I'd suggest saving that money and putting it towards a pair of subs if the 152s don't have enough low-end output for you.  If they do, a nice pair of covers never hurts!

Which sub do you have, exactly???  There have been several in the EON line, most of them pretty much "sub-woofer" in name only, but I think they have some newer stuff that MIGHT be serviceable to some extent.
