What have you heard elsewhere that does deliver what you seek? A point of comparison might help.
FWIW, the 3a is a great monitor IMO, and I believe they are capable of delivering the goods.
Have you spent any time listening to a good analog setup? I think digital sources usually sound like you describe.
Also, tweaks like changing cables or using Walker SST on your plugs and connectors can make a huge improvement. If you've got any local audio pals, try some things before you change any major components.
Also, PRAT is the toe-tapping thing; from your description, you certainly are not happy with your lack of PRAT. Cheers,
Spencer
