My speakers - weak link - proposals ?

Yes, the paradigms are indeed holding you back. But we need to know your room dimensions and listening preferences before making recommendations.

Add a price point to this list.

Johncanuck,

As the previous posts have requested, a lot more information is needed before anyone can accurately help you narrow your search. Auditioning the speakers with your system would of course the final step.

I would like to add too that I have Kimber cables throughout my system and enjoy them, but you should audition several cables as you tune your system. Kimber may work for you, or they may not. I believe the most important thing, however, is to work with a good audio shop. The guys at my shop let me take home about a half dozen different speaker cables (Kimber, Cardas, Audio Magic) as well as a bunch of interconnects. I got to keep them for a couple of weeks until found the combination that I liked best.

The ONLY salient question here is:

'What is it that YOU feel is missing?'
Do the vocals make you have chill bumps? Does the emotion of a beautiful Alto Sax solo on a ballad, thrill you--does Chris Botti's rif's get you all charged up?

What's missing for YOU?

When you can answer that...then you'll know.

Typically loudspeakers--no make that Universally, loudspeakers are the 'personality piece' in a system. They have the most 'flavor' IMHO.

Good listening.
