Upgrade Path from Martin Logan 11A Impressions hybrid loudspeaker

Your description of how the Martin Logans sound suggest a setup issue or possible a mismatched amplifier.  What volume levels are you listening at?

Also I note you seem to be changing multiple components at the same time.  It's hard to get good results via that method.

I’m not familiar with your 3 choices, but +1 Joseph Audio Perspectives.  Perlisten Audio and Monitor Audio speakers are another solid option with lots of very positive reviews.  For high efficiency I’d choose Volti. 

I’d definitely add the Joseph Audio Perspective 2 to that list.  And the Usher ML-802 is worthy of a look too.  Best of luck.
