Upgrade from ATP3..

[1235sam]

I have been using ATP3 since last 4 years using on board Realtek . I am satisfied with its performance .
Now I want to upgrade.

I mostly listen to Trance music so earth shattering(yet realistic and not muddy) bass is main priority.
Z-2300 seems be good choice but it is not available anymore MX-5021 seems to lack in bass department. And it is also not available anymore.

My requirements
1)It should be good upgrade over ATP3
2)Great rumbling bass , but it should not be too boomy and uncontrolled ( I am gonna buy good sound card) extended yet smooth detailed treble. So basically I am looking for V sig sound hyeah:
3) 80 percent music 20 percent movies
4) I would love the club like feel hence I am considering 5.1 as long as they provide good music
5) Budget upto 20k

I am not looking towards 2.0 as I want dedicated subwoofer.

options shortlisted so far
1)Logitech Z5500 :17K It seems to have great bass but many reviews says its not good for music.
2)Edifier S550 :20K It seems to be good for music then Z5500
3)Edifier S530 : 12K not many reviews
4)Logitech Z623 :8K it has replaced Z2300, but i heard its inferior to Z2300 in SQ. I doubt will it be real upgrade over ATP3

I would second the opinion for Z`s . As a matter of fact , i have been using them for the past five and a half years now . I listen to ATB - ARMIN - ASOT a lot via optical . All are flac`s or MP3`s @ 256 kbps or higher . Sound card is HT Omega Claro plus . I also watch DTS .mkv`s and game on my xbox and ps3 via it . I mean just source the audio through it and these have not disappointed me a bit . Can only tell u about the Z5500 , rest have not heard so no idea .
