As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i

First of all, I do really enjoy the 3.7i, but at some point I'm going to need to downsize and I'm looking for suggestions of speakers with equivalent or better sound. 
If they aren't full range, that's ok as I have a pair of SVS SB-3000 subs. 
What the maggies could do better are better dynamics, bass weight and so forth (little better on rock and big classical). 
The room is a dedicated listening room in the basement 26X13X7. 
Budget is in the same range as the 3.7i, 
Thanks

Anyone have an opinion on the PS Audio speakers?

I've heard them at axpona but they were in that large lobby area. Kind of hard to judge. The little FR 5 had a ton of bass somehow. Didn't hear the FR 10 since they kept going back to the bigger models.

Aura - Entry level of Estelon but fits the mid-sized room better than the Forza. Heard both in a show. Quite impressive.

Unless you need speakers a lot smaller, why not the Magnepan 2.7x?  Same basic design with true ribbon, and higher spec components throughout.  With your subs, it will likely sound better than the 3.7i.
