Recommendation for speaker upgrade for main home listening and audio environment

Hi,
I have a pair of KEF Reference 102/2 Bookshelf Speakers hooked up to an Arcam SR250. I love this setup and it sounds amazing. I love that I can listen to music, and watch movies through the same setup, and the Arcam has been mostly great. 
I'm looking to upgrade the KEF's to something a little fuller while still preserving the quality and am a total novice.
Don't want to spend more than 1k for a pair, and definitely want a decent upgrade in sound.

Any recomendations?

Thanks

Does it have automatic room correction/sub calibration?
If so, a Hsu V15

Dynaudio Special Forty S40 , for sale on AudioGon
Depending on how much you could sell your KEF Reference 102/2.
You could be a little bit over your budget.
Dynaudio are supposed to be good for music and Home Theater ,
according to review.

Save up more $$$ to do a meaningful speaker upgrade or just add a pair of SVS SB1000 subs for $1000 — that’d be a pretty big sonic upgrade and give you a near full-range system.

I just got a pair of KEF R3. They were demos, and I paid 1400 for them. KILLER!
