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.

I own a set of ATC SCM-20A active monitors. They replaced Dunlavy SCIVa’s powered by one of a variety of amps and speaker cable combinations. I never turned back. Simpler is better. No longer do I need or worry about the adequacy of speaker cabling or amps. 

Your ATC choice is a good one; I believe your will likely enjoy improved sound reproduction. But I agree with @whart, listen to your candidate speakers, preferably in your home audio listening room before deciding.
