Looking to upgrade my speakers right now I Have the Vienna Acoustics Mosart Grands. Equipment is the Parasound a21 amp p5 pre amp and Marantz sa8001 sacd and two REL t9 subs. Mosaic speaker cable and Interconnects, in a 16 x 20 room with 7ft drop ceilings.

((If congestion is the problem you might like the coherent sound of Vandersteen, but be aware that they are said to be very sensitive to what you feed them, so a change like that alone would not necessarily signify the of the changes needed.))
Vandersteen's and Parasound work great together

Jughead let me know if you would like to try a pair if no local dealer.
Local dealer does not carry Vandersteen's, but is expecting to get a pair on trade not sure what model but I'll ask.
Can you decipher vocals clearly?

if not, some might call that a common form of "Congestion".

2-way designs with crossover points in the midrange where most vocals and music occurs are a commonly cited cause.

I tend to levitate to 2 way designs where the crossover is simple and occurs at higher frequencies.

The OHMs and Triangles that I use are good examples. Another I know of that follows a similar design approach on paper that I know of and many like is Reference 3a. I'm sure there are others.
Mapman, yes you can decipher vocals they are not clear as bell and the rest of the music just sounds muddy. bloated bass and not great separation of instruments.
