Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc??
 With a good recording,I would say more like a bubble. Height,width,and depth. Images expanding beyond physical boundaries. That's the stuff that makes me love this hobby. 
Buying Speakers Based on Specs
I agree with islandmandan. Get yourself a couple subs.  This will not only give you the bottom end you want,it will also enhance the soundstage.

Speaker Volume

KEF LS50s with BAT VK-55 - good combo?
I have a pair of Graham Chartwell LS3/5's and a pair of said Spendor S3/5's. I have driven both with a First Watt F5 with very,very good results. The F5 is only 25 wpc. Of course, I have a small 9x13 listening room. I am not familiar with the LS50...

Hi noble100,    Thanks for that info. I'm glad to hear that!  I guess my email must have fallen between the cracks. When I'm ready to pull the trigger on another amp,I will definitely be checking them out. 
What's up with Red Dragon Audio?
 One thing I’ve learned in my 56 years is,price isn’t everything. When I shop for something, value is what I’m looking for. In other words,quality for dollars spent. Sometimes a great value might cost a little bit more.
