Speaker input, which one, Magico, Avalon, Yg, Rock

Tough decision, Have recently updated all my Spectral with all the latest Spectral, 400 Dma, 4000sl, 30ss11. I currently have Avalon Edilons, 2002 purchased. I like the sound but am looking for a better bass. I like music not over detailed or bright, I need to hear before I purchase, but will never hear all of the above in one place. I would appreciate input as they relate to Spectral . I am considering, Magico q30, Avalon compas, Yg KIpod 11passive, and Rockport Atria. All are excellent speakers, but which is the most musical and fits my 15 by 18 by 10 ft room. Thanks. , I also like the soundstage I now have

They were the Kipods and it was such a huge, wide, deep soundstage I could have dove off my chair into it. I was incredibly jealous as it was so much deeper and wider than what I have. It went on forever. Not harsh at all but I goota say, I remember the source was vinyl but could not tell you which or what I was just so mesmerized with the olympic size swimmingpool between/behind the speakers. The most impressed amps/speakers made me since I heard the living voice/shindo at In Living Stereo almost 12 years ago.

I am also a bit perturbed by Stringreen's comments on the YG. I had a good listen to these at last year's California Audio Show using Ypsilon amps and an Esoteric transport + DAC pair and I was super impressed by them. I listened to the Carmels for a while and then Robin Loggie switched in the Kipods. A family sound for sure, but the Kipods took it up a few levels. I agree with Cerrot about the imaging.

This was in a small hotel room.

Vicksburg,

It was a friend of an associate at his very large apartment. I was very impressed as I never get surprised by gear like that. Well, once when I was a kid, which I am still paying for.
