OP, can you explain what it is you are looking for your speakers to do differently? What kind of sonic change are you looking for? What would an "upgrade" mean to you? Absent that, we can only recommend "good" speakers in your price range, but we are looking for different things, for example I am much more concerned with midrange accuracy in timbre, and would sacrifice ultimate bass for that, which is why I own Merlins, they provide the kind of sound that appeals to me. Have you heard any speakers that you liked better than what you have, and if so, in what way? Maggies and Harbeth are very fine speakers, but they may not be doing what you are looking for, where a Vandersteen 3A might very well do. IOW, more info please.
