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

@hotei My pleasure.  One of the discs is Desmond and Gerry Mulligan.  If you have not heard Mulligan's disc "Dragonfly", it's a classic for this topic.  The second track called Brother Blues is such a delight for the use of soundstage and imaging.   I've used that track many times to demonstrate a recording that lets you hear exactly where every instrument is.  Exciting to listen to.  IMHO.  Cheers.

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.
