Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers

Yeah, Tekton Double Impacts will be easier to drive, more efficient, play louder, much more refined, and almost universally acclaimed to compete with $10k speakers. Listen to this guy at 5:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RxRTFx6Cd0&t=627s
Or if you want more do like me and order Moabs. Or Ulfberhts, if you're really determined to spend $10k. Refinement and you are there presence in spades. Hang on, if you want yet another review, Eric says he should have my Moabs to me in a few weeks. 

millercarbon,
The video is impressive but I believe they may be too large for my room. I've never had a speaker of that size in my room. Not sure they would satisfy. Something smaller is what I am looking for. Thanks for the suggestion.

A used pair of Joseph Audio Perspectives will be a significant upgrade in refinement and overall performance and are well within your budget.  Best of luck.

You may be loving your Ascend Acoustics and not even realize it.... The better your system gets,  the easier it is to hear the problems in recordings.  I personally have a real issue with the peaks in vocals that happen because of over saturating microphones. 
I believe that I will produce a speaker soon.  I have built the prototypes.  95db sensitivity,  5 ohms,  great impedance curve, excellent frequency curve (flat) very tube amp friendly for any tube amp with 4 ohm taps.  I'll let you guys know if I produce them.  I am in the St. Louis area and would love a few people to put their ears on them.
