I don't quite understand what you mean by match or better. Is it a flatter frequency response/on-off axis/waterfall plots or just a speaker with a better braced cabinet, better drivers/tweeter, nicer looking crossover parts. They are correlated to frequency response/on-off axis but the designer still my not go for the flatest frequency response/neutral sound as possible. "High end" speakers does not mean "better sound" though in some cases it does (B&W 800 series). Some axiom speakers measure better than more expensive speakers...some don't. Same goes for subjective listening.

I am just trying to understand what you want to improve and the reasons why.
