If you are even thinking of going to the Atlas setup it is a no brainer. Most people have a problem because they have time and money invested in a single driver baffle. The Atlas setup (IMO) will give you the following: Better dynamics, less distortion, and yes, a larger, denser presentation of the music. Depending on your room size, the original 12" driver subs should be sufficient. The only downside is the cost of the driver and reworking the baffles. Also, your amp must be able to run a 16 ohm load. Most can without a problem but you will get less power due to the impedance mismatch (assuming no 16 ohm taps). I use an Emission Labs 300b XLS to get some of the power back. I just set my cathode current to 107mA using an adjustable resistor. Oh, BTW, if you are using a mesh plate 300b that is giving you a lusher presentation than a solid plate at the expense of detail, accuracy, openness, and even soundstage. Depends on what you are really looking for.
