Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC?


I never thought I'd be asking this, but what bookshelf speaker might be a step up from these? I've had and loved them for a little over 10 years now, but with a recent major upgrade in my electronics (will be listed at end of post) I think they're just a bit too small for what's now driving them. I've heard a pair of Sonus Faber Olympicas (way out of my price range) and some Revel M-106's (not sure they're a step upwards from the Proacs). Would like something I can live with for a long time to come, but hoping not to exceed about $3000. Impossible mission? Maybe...
Advice and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

The Fritz Carrera is also a speaker I have been very interested in. I've talked to Fritz oh the phone a couple times and these sound like a model I would like to hear. I have read reviews of some of his other models but have yet to see anything written about the Carrera? Zoot45, do you own these speakers? Or have you heard them? If so, would you care to elaborate?
DeVore makes a very nice small speaker. If you like the ProAc's, you should like them as well.
I like my Clearwave Duet 6 monitors.
They pack a lot of sound for their size.

All the best,

Check out speaker art. I've owned the response 1.5's, 2.5's as well as the 1sc. I have a pair of custom super clefs with Lee taylor cabinets and scan speak tweeters. They are the most dynamic and coherent two way speakers I've ever heard. I will never part with mine.
You might also look into ATC or Joseph Audio. Not sure if they make anything within your budget.
