To me fuller partially means with better/more reallistic bass.
Once I did a comparison of my Atoms with NHT towers and NHT Superzeros. The Atoms blended with the towers (which were very detailed) much better than the Superzeros, and the Atoms clearly had better bass than the Superzeros. Because of the better blending with the towers, I think even in detail the Superzeros don't match the Atoms, but I'd need to compare them again on that without any tower speakers to match, just a comparison between the two.
Atoms are great small speakers, and with great bass, don't understimate their bass because of their driver's size. I keep posting this link whenever Atoms are mentioned, here it goes again, check the positive remarks in particular about the bass:

If you want better detail within similar speaker size, then an option could be Quad 11L's, which have supposedly very refined treble and detail, to the point of maybe being unforgiving on bad recordings and equipment. These Quads are more than double the price of the Atoms though, and they allegedly lack a bit in the bass. Quad 12L's supposedly fix that keeping the refined highs, but for more money as well. Have tried to listen to those myself, but haven't been able to yet.
Great sound! I like.
