Advice about Tekton: replace ATC SCM20 SL with Tekton Electron?

Dear all
I have been intrigued by all the reviews and posts about Tekton loudspeakers. Furthermore, I would have the space for a Tekton loudspeaker and would opt for the Electron.
That said, I do own an ATC SCM 20SL that I modded with Duelund cabling, resistor and coild, and  Mundorf silver/sold caps, as well as with a Mundorf AMT. It sounds very nice. However, I would like a more massive sound, especially for complex orchestra. I am looking to immerse in big sound in addition to having the intimacy, precision and naturalness. I feel the Tekton could do that. 
However, I would probably need to mod the Xover, which is costly, to get to the same level of refinement my ATC offers. Any advice or recommendation would be welcome. I am in Europe, so ordering and returning an Electron would be costly.
I have a Chord Mscaler with Hugo2 and Job225, no preamp.

Thank you very much for your input! I have the ATC on Mapleshade platforms -it helps for the bass that goes down to 35 Hz when I measure in the room with Diracs room correction software and a Beyerdynamic microphone. Regarding the Mundorf AMT, that improved the sound a lot. I used AMT 1908C - it is more or less a drop in when replacing the Vifa tweeter. I adapted the Xover as well. Actually, a fellow A'goner copied my approach and he seems really happy as well. 
I am not sure how to inrease power without spending a lot. I wonder whether I can bridge the JOB225? I read that single ended amps (- = ground) all can be bridged... so I might just add another Job225?
