jjue, I am glad you have sticked to 2.5, minus 'boominess' the speakers are not bad.

Murgeshj I experienced the 'boominess' in the early days of my 2.5's but it hasn't  been an issue after 200 or 300 hrs. May be my ears were 'trained' to get used to the sound :) I saw your posts on YouTube and I think the 2.5'a may not be the best speakers for your listening environment. I grew up in Southeast Asia and I am quite familiar with the living environment there.  The concrete and tile constructed hard surface structure can be a major issue for speakers like the 2.5's. Have you tried British made speakers like Harbeth or Spendor? My guess is those speakers may sound pretty good in your listening room. 

Jonmc138 it's nice to know that I am not the only person who likes the 2.5's. I am lucky enough to be able to separate my 2.5's  9' apart and still have about 1.5' from the side walls. The 2.5's don't sound as good as the much more expensive speakers if you like full orchestra music. But for the music l like and listen to frequently (Jazz, Vocal, Chamber), my 2.5's have done an outstanding job for me. 

Jjue, it is nice to hear that you have seen my videos in Youtube, you should be correct, in the showroom(acoustically treated) 2.5 was sounding wonderful and in the home it was different animal.
I have ever used Kef, want to try Harbeth not very soon and also eyeing on Monitor audio.

I do have ATC scm7, it is nice sounding speaker, have it in bedroom, looking for CD player, paired with Spec rsa-717
