Im looking for an expert review of my system


Hello...my nameTom and been working on my 2 channel system for the past 30 years or so..always looking for improvement. ..it sounds terrific now but l want some analysis and criticism. ....equipment is as follows :
Infinity Kappa 9 speakers,first gen.
McIntosh Mc1.25kw mono blocks 
McIntosh C52 pre amp
McIntosh MCD 600 cd player
Richard Gray 1200S pair
Bluesound vault  cd ripper hard drive 
Samsung 18.5 tablet touch screen 
Monster cable MK2 bi wire cables
Custom silver inter connects balanced
Is there another speaker out there that will blow these Kappas out of the water in my price range?
In afraid to replace them and make a huge mistake. ...they really sing....l use the system ever day its sounds amazing. ....l think my listing room could use improvement at this point not my equipment. ....anyone have any ideas?

Nice system---you have a pair of Richard Gray 1200's---where are you running them in your system?  
I have them plugged in directly to each 20 amp receptacle and the MC1.25kw's are plugged in also to the receptacle. ....l tried plugging the amps into the RGPC 1200'S instead of the wall.....lt was hard to distinguish if there was a difference. .....what would you suggest? .......is there any easy test method to indicate whats the better way.......l was using some high volume very demanding music and watching and listening for current draw demands. ..if that makes any sense...
The Kappa 9 speakers are connected to the 2 ohm posts on the Mac1.25kw's ....the woofer switches are set to "extended mode".....those thirsty speakers will draw the amps to clipping.......but its at extremely high volume levels.....
The 1200s is meant for front end pieces, where it will supply current on demand, but not nearly enough for your amps, so don’t run your amps though them.

I concur with jafreeman- do  not plug those power amps into your RGPC 1200. Front end gear only.  Happy Listening!
