Speaker Upgrade Question Quad 22L

I have a pair of Quad 22L's. These are vertically bi amped with PS Audio HCA-2's, GCP 200 pre and a Cairn Fog w/upsampling. I think the Quads might be the weak link in the system. I am thinking of replacing the Quads with Von Schweikert VR-2's, Meadowlark Osprey's or Monitor Audio GR60's (all used) I have heard the VR-2's and they are nice but I have not heard the others. Any opinions or suggestions?

like i said...try a single amp first. the 11,12 and 22 require very little power, even in a big room.

in all honesty, these all appear to be sideways moves. what is it about the sound of this system that troubles you. on paper, it actually sounds like a very well thought out stereo. the quads may be a little light weight in the bass, but they are certainly as balanced(top to bottom) as the models you've named, and probably more flexable when it comes to matching components.
