Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs

So you have acceptable bass extension with your current speakers but want more volume?  What about padding back the mids and highs in the crossover and just turn what you have up?  Save a lot of money.  Seem to me that you could spend a lot of money just to alter the balance, not the bass extension of your speakers.

I have main speakers that are 3 dB down at 20 Hz and for audio they need no augmentation. I use powered subs only for video (when you need to get down to a felt but not heard 16 Hz for those low organ notes or exploding deathstars).

And while I agree completely with the guys that suggested planars and electrostats for the best mids and highs, mating a subwoofer to those is one of the most difficult tasks in stereo.

Don´t know what DSpeaker you bought but would much recommend the Martin Logan (Paradigm) Unison (ARC Genesis) instead for your Salons. Easy to tilt your bass there if that´s what you like. I use it in the digital chain for all my systems, even the big ATC 150 ASL´s.

I owned cones until I heard Magnepan Tympani 1a's. Then it was Magnepan, then Quad. Now my system is all Quad ESL - want more bass? Add more ESL's.

Trust me - NOTHING beats 32 square feet of crossover-free ESL. Unless it's 48.

I'm now listening to a new pair of Maggie LRS speakers and a new Schiit Vidar amp and this is the best mids and highs I've ever had. I've got the bass routed to a sub with the crossover set to 80hz so the maggies are freed up from the heavy lifting and my understanding is they don't go much lower than 50 hz anyway. The LRS is not a speaker for loud rock music (which is ok for me) but sounds amazing with everything else. They are very intolerant of poorly recorder source material like compressed CD and low-res files like youtube music which sounds pretty crappy on the maggies. The Vidar amp runs warm but as long as I keep the volume somewhat limited it does fine. Still capable of room filling volume. I have ,a couple times, caused the amp to shut down from thermal overload, but only when turning the volume up really loud. But as soon as I back off on the volume a little and turn the Vidar back on it's immediately good to go. This system seems to sound better everyday but I'm not sure whether it's the system or my brain that's breaking in.My previous speakers were Polk Rtia5 floorstanders which were great for loud rock and pop and very forgiving of crummy source material everything sounded good on them although they didn't have the transparency and detail of the new maggies. The music seems to be floating in the air in the room with the LRS speakers, not coming from speakers at all. If regular speakers project sound like a flashlight the LRS is more like an open picture window. I also have a pair of ELAC B6 speakers in a closet upstairs which maybe I'll hook up this weekend they're also great for loud pop and rock. But the maggies look so cool you can kind of see through them and see the ribbon drivers. The highs are superior to any wooden box speaker I've ever heard. And female vocalists sound amazing.

Focal + Naim is one of the worst combination for highs, in my (subjective) opinion - cold and analytical. Very deep and fast with the bass, Naim can really control the speaker, but if you want neutral to warmer sound, I wouldn't go with Naim.
