Speakers for a Rega system

I have an all-Rega system -- DAC, Brio-R amp, and RS3 speakers. Recently I have been thinking that I could do better on the speakers but don't want something that would be an over-kill for the system (perhaps under $2,500 retail?). I mostly listen to classical jazz and the room is probably 300 sq ft.

that all-Rega kit synergy -- properly implemented -- is tough to beat. I have R1s in my B system and I have an all REGA A system (Rega Osiris / Rega Isis / Rega R9s)

Q1: what's missing for you? Why I ask is because REGA SYNERGY nirvana requires appropriate speaker cables, ICs, and power chords.

Speaker cables: I've swapped in/out quality Atlas Ascent, Van Den Hul Teatrack and REGA's own QUATTRO in my systems

ICs: ditto: ATLAS Navigator all-cu, VDH, Rega Couple, Nordost Frye (current A system)

Power chords (Rega's own brand work very well)

A little experimenting with these first would my first step IMO.

The speaker you own is wonderful. Stop looking. It works beautifully in the context of your system.

Yes, perhaps I should stop looking :). Kind of wish I bought the RS5 speakers instead.

I think I could use a bit more bass though, and in general I figured that getting speakers one level up price-wise could only make things better.

As far as the cords and cables, I have not bought into the idea of getting high-end stuff yet so I just use generic ones - could that be the issue?
