See I don't get it. You send out very mixed messages about the PSB's - on one hand they cause you problems so much so that you;re looking to MTX? But at the same time you say you like almost everything about them. Yes the rooms may suck - but I live in an apartment with those cheap ass walls and they have windows - the main room has a sliding glass door as a side wall and an open end the other side - I also have a bit of slap echo.
The other option is to get a really nice headphone system - Mine is under $1k Cdn and I enjoy it more than most of the speakers out there for double that. No room problems with headphones (they have shortcomings but clear they are.
It took a very good speaker maker to have me not listening to the headphone set-up.
Your Cambridge is a nice amp - 4ohm speakers? Don't know the total impedence swing of the speakers but if it's more than ~12 points from max to min and it goes under 3ohms the CA may be in tough.
10x10 is really quite a small room
What happened to the AX Two? Didn't work for ya?
