Alman...thanks for the info. So, again on the basis of a commonallity in sound between our speakers, I offer the following: I originally ran my paradigm set up with the halo A51 and now use that for surrounds, with JC 1s up front. That upgrade was a result of a perceived weekness in my system which the jc 1s resolved. These and yours, are very fast and revealing speakers, and the slew rate on halo amps is very fast as well. The combination leads to what I perceived on some recordings to be an amazing level of detail, yet perhaps just a little thin at times on the high end, except for on the best of recordings. Power aside, what I learned is that the jc1s, although having rhe same slew rate as the other halos, it has a much faster rise time, which creates a better fill in the sound, especially the highs. Along with that 1 very important improvement, the jc1s provided a pleathera of other improvements.
Additionally, in running my surrounds separately with the A51, which are a combination of V3 Sigs and V5 Studios, in relation to the jc1 upfront, i found that tinge of massive detail with an occasional slight lack of depth, to be more apparent. I made an interconnect chamge for the rears and am never left wanting now. I was running Silnote Morpheus II Seris II interconnects all around...also a very clean and fast transient wire. I switched my rears to the Silnote Poseidon II Signature. While still a clean and detailed wire, it is more luxurious and robust than the Morpheus line.....it was like putting a partial tube amp effect into the feed, and now....my audio bliss.
Not sure if that addresses your upgrade desire, but I hope it helps in some regard.
