What is it that you don't like about your speakers ?

@inna  That's the relevant question, why so many loudspeakers?  I've often kept 2 - 3 systems going.  It's part of the sickness of this hobby, and both wonderful and stupid, at the same time.

I do drive the Quads with my Jadis amplifiers, and the 3 of them provide different results.  But I also use my  Dynacos and Quicksilvers. Have had 3 pairs of AtmaSphere M60s and 1 S30 in the past. Supposedly, a match made in heaven. So at some point, I anticipate giving the Atmas another try.

While I like all of the listed loudspeakers to various degrees, you're right, I like the Quads and Frieds best.  If the day came where I couldn't stockpile gear, and had to choose to live with a single component for each part of a single system, I'd end up with the Jadis DA60 driving the Quads.

Like everything in this world, components have strengths and weaknesses.  I believe someone with an open mind, heart, and ears can evaluate the gear they own in kind.  Interesting how few complaints folks have thrown out there.  Especially, in light of how many components get listed on this site

For 30 years, my speakers had deficiencies so I understand why you are not fully satisfied with your Michael Green speakers. You seem to think box speakers must necessarily be colored and sound like a box. In fact I am surprised you are willing to stick with your speakers, as you genuinely seem interest in high fidelity.

Over the years my problems were boomy bass and then as I progressed the speakers became more accurate but lacked extension to the ultra LF.

I am happy now. Anyone like Inna that says speakers must  necessarily be a compromise are simply justifying mediocrity in a major aspect of their setup.

shadorne, whatever drawbacks Michael Green free resonance speakers have, they sufficiently convey the essense of music, and that's the most important thing. As always, source, electronics and cables are all important. Yes, I wouldn't mind Lansche/Ypsilon set-up.

I could use a little more bass slam.

trelja, I see. I had passing thoughts of adding second system but quickly abandoned this idea and decided to concentrate on one set-up. Not only because of limited funds, another room is not big enough with a lot of furniture, no good sound can really be achieved.
Anyone has big Soundlabs ?
