RTI10 Midrange Speaker is getting too much low end and distorting.

I don't know what that means.
It means your speakers are 3 decibels down at 35Hz, which means they are not capable of producing the low bass you desire. Get a sub.Political Correctness'.........defined

+1 on that. It makes a big difference if you have a good subHT System

not quite. While they both lack mid HP filtering - the chief cause the mid's "gymnastics," their XOs have less than subtle differences. BTW: my 'A7s' mids had the same issue full range WITH quality power playing Donald Fagan's "The Nightfly." Using a 150hz bass blocker as a jumper on one side may fix the problem but, like tonyb said, you may not like the results.No point in that as they are the same speaker in different style cabinets.
even w/a power amp I'd add a sub & set them to "small" and live happily ever after.To the OP, unless you get a power amp you will have to set the 10's to small and use a sub to handle the bass. I use the RTiA7's in my HT rig, set to small with a sub and have never had the issue you speak of.

Have you tried running the speakers without dps? No processing. What is your result then?
I have a set of rti12 running on a pioneer sc27 for ht. But once in a while listening to music on them. Tske the dsp off.Klipsch The Nines, Audioquest Thunderbird Interconnect, Innuos Zen MK3 W4S recovery, Revolution Audio Labs USB & Ethernet, Border Patrol SE-I, Audioquest Niagara 5000 & Thunder, Cullen Crossover II PC's. -

Given the OP's musical preferences, I agree with this. However, I don't think he's looking to spend the additional coin.
