Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions?

*sigh* I had a really nice, detailed post as a reply going but I hit the wrong button on my phone and Voila!, gone.

I'll try to recreate it later. For the moment just the down and dirty. I've listed the components above in a second post....mea culpa, that should have been in the first post. Along with room dimensions which are 20×20×13 so roughly 4800 cubic feet. Again, mea culpa, I should have added that. I will add more but for the moment I have one question.

I've found a set of much more modern Monitor Audio Silver 200's from a dealer with a full warranty ( i.e., they are legit ) and free shipping to me. So I am asking people who may have heard both speaker systems, my 2008 Silver RS8's and the newer Monitor Audio Silver 200's if there is an appreciable difference between them or is the difference so small it's likely to go unnoticed? 

Thanks,

AMAZING! I own 3.4s which has the same 12" concentric driver but no woofers.
He using the OEM crap jumpers. I found WireWorld to be awesome, but whichever you decide, get 2+' to get the XOs off the bases. Both are HUGE improvements

You should take a serious look at Spendor. I bought a pair for a second system and they are very impressive.

@stereoisomer if you are in DFW get ahold of James at Raven Audio and audition the CeLest Towers. www.ravenaudio.com

He lives in DFW and can arrange a demo I am sure.

I will have a set of their new monitors in a couple of weeks to demo.

I have their tower and love them.

Maybe try the Audiophiles guide by PS Audio? Perhaps you have exactly what is needed, minus proper setup?
