Pathos logos or classic

I have looked at your system. I think, your speakers are simply not suit for the kind of music you like. Pathos wont help you, or even would make things even worse. I would go for a vintage JBL with 10 woofers. Like this:

I posted a thread several days ago asking for comparisons of Unison Unico Secondo and Pathos Logos, and so far no one's weighed in on the Logos.

Why do you want to replace the VTL preamp and Plinius amp??

dizzyizzid....since you only have a system that is better than 90% of all high fi nut cases who are still running in circles, i would take a few days, and 'really' listen to your stereo...not in a critical way, but in a 'holy shit i've got a wonderful stereo' way. a pathos of any model, is not going to get you anywhere you're not already....ps, nice amp and speakers for sure.
