You can get both a nice phono stage and a nice turntable for that budget and it will make all the difference in the world. I'd look at a Rega RP3 + Dynavector 20x2 and a Dynavector P75 II phono preamp. That's in the range and a GREAT sounding setup.

Get a pair of Maggie 1.7's
They will make the biggest improvement in sound

I agree with Dhcod-upgrade the phono stage and source first.

I would consider upgrading your rogue M150 to a M180 believe it runs around $1000 dollars and take the rest of the money and upgrade your component cables or a used pair of 1.7s. Good Luck.

I would go to as many stereo stores as I could and listen to speakers. When you get a pair that you like, then its easier to find the other stuff to befriend your new speakers.
