So I was finally able to watch the video - it was greyed out before. Great color choice - if I was to ever get a Porsche or Wilsons the only color for me would be Carmine Red. Too bad you don't have the system anymore. What are the room treatments you were using?

but the worst combo when with amps which is polite, slow sounding. Then speakers just sound uninvolving and boring. Fast, vey open, upfront "in your face" kinf of amps does trick. This is for normal audiophile records , listening on moderate levels. When listening electronic music and volume is cranked speakers opens up with most amps.

Thanks. The M400 should hopefully do the trick - bass was super quick.
I also realized why I'm liking the tweeter on high setting - the tweeter on the Maestro is shelved down in the brilliance region (6khz - 20khz) (red trace):
