Restless_times,
Maybe your moniker suggests it all (that you are restless & like to churn equipment)? Maybe not? Hard to say...
There is no current virtual system for you so one does not know what kind of equipment you have presently & what sort of equipment you have been thru.
Perhaps you have been living amongst a subset of box speakers that just don't render the music well???
OF COURSE there are box speakers that render the music well & even very well. One member already pointed out Vandersteen. I'd like to add a few more:
* Green Mountain Audio
* VMPS
* Selah Audio linear arrays
* Piega
* Merlin
& I'm sure I left out quite a few.
Maybe your question should be: "Are there any box speakers that render the music as well as Martin Logan & Magnepan?"
ESLs & planars do certain things very well but also have short-comings like all other speaker categories. In the end, it all amounts to what you are willing to spend & what sort of compromise(s) you are willing to settle for.
