Ignore the Measurement Brothers.
I had a Hegel HD-12 (which I liked) that is said to be very similar in sound character to yours. Moved up to a used Exogal Comet Plus. The latter is much more detailed, textured, and refined sounding with more air and soundstage depth & layering. Opens up a new listening experience with well recorded music.
The Hegel was a bass monster (in a good way mostly), the Comet is faster in the midbass with less heft in the lower mids. Both have smooth, musical midrange with the Hegel being more forward.
