Have l become unstable?

I’ve always had nice audiophile quality gear and now I’m considering moving to something that’s capable of giving me an “auditory triple-bypass” if so inclined; the ATC 40 SCMA active paired with my JL e-110 sub.  I’m mostly not a volume listener, but find Buddy Guy too polite through Manley Mahi monoblocks and Merlin monitors.  Will I lose the great micro detail, imaging and sound stage depth I enjoy now?

Thanks for contemplative input.

Naim UnitiServe, Naim DAC 1, Shunyata Valhalla digital cable, Manley Neo-Classic pre with upgraded tubes to include Takatsuki 300B, Mahi Mahi monoblocks with upgraded tubes, Decware cabling, Merlin Black Magic monitors on Sound Organisation massed stands.

The ATC SCM 40 are fantastic loudspeakers  and are very dynamic. The issue with your current setup is not enough power to get you the dynamics and liveness you crave.

The ATC three way have a better image, with a stunning midrange that is neutral and clean, good treble detail. 

We became an ATC dealer after hearing the active SCM 40.
