is it worth upgrading from atacama nexus 6 to Partington Super Dreadnoughts?

[gooner26]

im using a pair of b&w 685's and i obviousley want to get the best out of them so basically is it worth upgrading? i filled the nexus 6's with this kind of hard pebbly sand substance, i filled the 2 thin columns with this up to the top, and quarter filled the main thick column.

Don't see why not.

They are very well thought of it seems. WHF rate them highly...

personally i would not , cant see it making much if any difference to the sound IMO

I reckon, as long as you filled the stands you might struggle to hear the difference.

They'll probably make a difference as they're pretty industrial and heavy, but unless it's the very last thing to tweak I wouldn't bother. If you were to spend the money elsewhere what would spring to mind? Cables? Stand? Heaven forbid, power cables?

ive made a bit of a hash in filling the stands up. ive filled the 2 back poles up to the top with tiny pebbly stuff and i cant get it back out because its a hard substance and the holes in the poles are so small, not a major problem but i should have bought some of atacama's own stand fillers. i just get the feeling that the sound can be improved upon ever so slightly, maybe its me but im pretty sure i can hear some colouring, nothing to serious but colouring none the less!
