speaker upgrade fever

I'm considering a speaker upgrade to compliment my Aesthetix Mimas integrated. Currently, I've got KEF Ref 1 monitors paired with (2) REL S/3 subs. Must stay away from bright, analytical and clinical presentation. Room size 12'x19'. Music is jazz, acoustic Americana, Chamber, symphonic etc. 

Looking at the ProAc K1, Triangle Duetto and the DeVore o/baby. Also, a huge departure, Vandersteen Treo CT, floor standers. I understand Vandersteen pairs well with the Mimas.

Always open to suggestions, happy to buy quality used and demo.

Budget, ~$8-$11K

Since you mentioned the Vandersteen Treo, which is a great speaker, may I recommend considering a good pair of used Vandersteen Quatro CT's. The Music Room had (perhaps still has) a pair for about $8.2k. 

I have the Quatro's and find them to be very good and work well with th kind of music you stated that you prefer. I share those same preferences. 

if that's not possible or preferable, then the Treo CT's would be just great.  

Best of luck to you!
