Upgrade from Revival Atalante 5s

I'm currently in a situation where I can purchase new speakers to replace the Atalante 5s or I can just keep them where they are and spend money upgrading the components. Overall I've been impressed by them and haven't come across another speaker that I would really want over them. I think they do a really good job with soundstage and vocals. I hope to hear more speakers next year but I'm curious if others have compared the 5s with other speakers and which speaker could replace it.

Current chain - Holo Red -> Directstream MK2 -> Galion TS A20 -> Atalante 5

 

Thanks!

The sound from your Galion TS A20 amplifier may be as good as the company's web page exults. Still, it is a 20 watt amplifier. Despite my experience that a low-power class A amplifier drives speakers well beyond the limits you'd think from the specs, the Atalante 5 more or less signifies the limit. That is, other candidate speakers are "horizontal" replacements for them, like some of the Spendor Classic models.
