Well, I have the Electa AmatorIIs with the original stands, along with 2 Gravis Subs and the Musical Fidelity Nuvista integrated M3 with the 3D cd , and I can tell you that the sound I am getting is first class, warm, detailed, lush,envolving, with a huge stage, etc. The Gravis reinforce the bass better that a floorstanding and because they are so musical, the quality bass is terrific. I am very pleased and happy. Josey
