JM Reynaud Twin Signatures vs. Bliss/Silver

Has anyone ever compared these 3 speakers? The JMR Twin Signature, Bliss, and Bliss Silvers? I have the Twin Signatures. The main problem I have with them is that the bass sounds a bit too boomy, lumpy, and ill defined in my small listening room. I am wondering if the Bliss's would solve this problem or not? Also, there is a slight opaqueness and murky sound to the Twins as well. I would like a larger soundstage and bit more clarity without giving up too much warmth. Despite some reservations I do love these speakers. They have a musical insightfulness that other speakers seem to lack. I can better understand the structure of the music and the notes have a more 3D roundness to them.
Anyone have any comments? Is it worth the upgrade?

I have a pair of Twin mkII and at the same time, owned the original Trente. I found the Trente be be extended more on both the top and bottom with more air from the tweeter. It was more revealing of your equipment and not as forgiving as the Twins. But it was great speaker and retained the general sound of the Twins, but provided a slightly bigger sound. If you like the Twins, I think you'll enjoy the Trente.

They did sound better with more watts than the Twins. The best combo at my place was with a Doge 8 preamp and a Jaton Operetta 2-channel amp.

As for stands, I felt the Reynaud Magic Stands were more balanced than metal Orisis Stands that emphasized the bass over the midrange at my place. I had the Orisis spiked stands on top
