Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........

If you are looking for an improvement in sound quality then try an active speaker. You can get top of the line pro gear with your budget. There are many active designs to chose from and they are all better than passives.

Vandersteen 5A's

I second Eldarado's vote for Vandersteen 5As. Or Thiel CS7.2s with one or two of their subs.

You'll also have bux left over for other things.

Any idea where you last saw them or left them?

having owned the Andras, their only real deficiency (to me) was the midrange, which lacked a bit of speed and transparency (the bass and treble left little to be desired).
other than that, finding something significantly better is going to be a real chore, especially considering their musicality, especially on strings and piano. i eventually replaced them with von schweikerts, which do possess a state-of-the-art midrange driver. but even the VS's, again, IMHO, bear a close resemblance to the eggleston sound, just quicker and more open. however, i'm a bit surprised you didn't enjoy listening to the andra's alot more. of course i confess to spending a small fortune on transparent wire, which took the speakers to a whole new level, with deep bass and a big 3-D stage.
