Looking for the next level in imaging...


I enjoy my system every time I sit down and listen. But as we all do, we get the itch to seek improvement!  I am intrigued by Omnidirectional speakers such as MBL’s, German Physiks etc. and breaking free from the head in a vice sweet spot to get better imaging throughout the room and better the imaging in the sweet spot!  I believe changing the speaker will deliver on this quest!  What speakers would you look at? Or would changing a component yield the result? Has anyone gone from the traditional dispersion speaker to an omnidirectional?

current speakers are Martin Logan Ethos

budget $20-30K...could stretch if something is exceptional

Two specific ways to increase soundstage depth, as you seek.  First, increasing the distance of your speakers from the front wall can have a huge impact.  If this works in your room, it would be my first move.  Second, consider a tube based amplifier.  My McIntosh C22/MC275 do a much better job with depth than comparable solid state amps. 

 

Also, are you working with a dealer or other professional?  As noted above, this is a really complex process.  An hour or two from an experienced person might be well worth the expense
