Switch from Genesis V to ???

We moved from a big house in Houston (huge listening room with 11 foot ceiling) to a smaller house in Los Angeles. My current listening room is 13' wide by 23' long, 8' ceiling.

The problem is my main speakers, Genesis Vs, sound "congested" in this new environment. I don't know if it is because of the room dimensions or the composition of the walls/floor/etc., but I'm not nearly as happy as I used to be with these great speakers.

I have lately begun to think about going with something smaller with a decent sub to give me some of the bottom end I'd be missong without the Gens.

So what do I do - try to tweek the room and the speaker setup, or swap out speakers? I have to admit that all the press and positive comments about the Merlin VSM line has piqued my interest. I do like a speaker with a lot of detail and musicality, but I also like plenty of slam (I'm a professional musician and like my music LOUD).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Consider a TacT Audio RCS 2.0S room correction system.
I have a complete Mark Levinson system with Magnepans
and the TacT was by far the greatest improvement in
my system. It will dramatically improve the coherence
and imaging of most systems. I've heard Genesis V's
and they are a lovely system. I'd look at fixing the
room before dumping the speakers.
