$8k for speakers - new or used

With an $8k budget, what floor standing speaker would you recommend? Currently have B&W 804 D3. Levinson #333 amp, McIntosh pre amp. Thx

I will keep the 804s and pair them with my McIntosh MA252 in my living room. We have a dedicated listening room that 13’x23’. We listening anything but rap and country. I don’t find the 804s unpleasant. Just wanting more - maybe detail, punch, bass. I have a LP12, so we listen to vinyl as well. Eventually I want to pair a McIntosh 462 amp with my C22 pre amp. Just thought I would get some feedback from a great resource of audio enthusiasts. I live in Seattle, we have a lot of the big brand names. Not sure who even carries Vandersteen anymore.
