Sorry I missed your budget initially as I am functionally blind. You have a lot of very nice suggestions but I agree that you need to upgrade your amp and speakers.
Right in your own town of Santa Fe is a speaker maker named Viking Acoustic. David Counsell, is the speaker builder and you should give him a call. He just delivered a pair of speakers to me and I couldn't be happier.
He also builds and sells integrated amplifiers that would go extremely well with the Viking speakers. You can go to his studio and listen to what he has. A super nice guy and incredible craftsmen.
For the money, you can't beat the Raven Blackhawk integrated amp. You should also look at the Raven line of speakers. They were designed by a classical musician. I have owned the Raven amplifiers so I can speake honestly about them. Same with Viking Acoustics.
