Best speakers to buy for around $1,500

I want to upgrade my speakers and I have an acurus A250 amp. My current speakers are cerwin vega VE-12's.

Room size and acoustics? Can you live without the last couple of octaves? (bass is the most expensive part). Do you have a good dealer near you? So many choices and most will just tell you what they have and like, but maybe they've not heard speakers in your range in a long time.

It's a lot of very high quality speaker for that money. I also like the Magneplanars a lot and my main pair are 1.7s, but in transitioning from Cerwin-Vega, the Focals will give you more of the slam, plus a captivating, airy soundstage, small footprint, and easy matching to your amplification.
