Looking for the next level in imaging...

I enjoy my system every time I sit down and listen. But as we all do, we get the itch to seek improvement!  I am intrigued by Omnidirectional speakers such as MBL’s, German Physiks etc. and breaking free from the head in a vice sweet spot to get better imaging throughout the room and better the imaging in the sweet spot!  I believe changing the speaker will deliver on this quest!  What speakers would you look at? Or would changing a component yield the result? Has anyone gone from the traditional dispersion speaker to an omnidirectional?

current speakers are Martin Logan Ethos

budget $20-30K...could stretch if something is exceptional

Just get the BACCH-SP and keep the speakers you have. It is a total paradigm shift and plays back music how it was intended to be heard.

moving to Mac, the Mc611's and c49 took my speakers to another level (or 3) without changing speakers. If you have the freedom to try a different wall, say going from the short to long wall and pull speakers 3-5' from all boundarys also. For the first time I have the cash, but no desire to upgrade.

Many people would sell their child for Ethos. How’s about being really grateful for what you have rather than trying to chase rainbows. It’s a thought.

Listen to lots of live acoustic music. Then try Shahinian Diapasons, Larsens, Ohm Acoustics speakers and any  Morrison Audio speakers. I would be very interested in your thoughts.

Thanks for the topic, polkalover...

It's not yet commonplace for audio folks to have a good handle on the Bacch-SP Theoretical Applied Physics processing.  Please do the homework if you are seriously interested in improving your sound.  With a limited budget, I opted for the Plug-In version of the BACCH DSP.  It has a "one-click on-off tab."  It goes unused.  And, yes, I am a purist, direct A to B audio guy.
