Anticipating next upgrade after B&W 803 D3?

My system has the b&w’s, McIntosh 5 channel amp biwired and a bluesound node 2i and a marantz 5014 avr used as a preamp. i am now seriously exploring the Chord Qutest dac and maybe the m scaler

Speakers? Dude! Your first priority should be a very nice stereo integrated amp (Hegel, Ayre, etc.) or stereo separates to do your speakers some justice and a good DAC ASAP followed by a better streamer. That mid-fi AVR, among other things, is absolutely killing your sound. Preamps matter!!!

To my ears, Joseph Audio speakers do everything better than a comparable B&W model while sounding more musical and just bringing more life and believability to sound. That’s what I heard comparing the original Pulsars to the 804 D3 last year and in other direct comparisons in the past, so I’d think there’d be a similar differential between the Perspective 2 and the 803 D3. If you’re looking for even more, go hear the Pearl 3s but don’t blame me if you hate your 803s afterward.  I’d venture I could say similar things for Vandy, ProAc, and Usher among others, but I’ve not done direct comparisons with those. Again, that’s just my ears and FWIW.
