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

It’s difficult to make recommendations as planar panel speakers and unique sonic advantages and disadvantages.  Also Magnepan offer excellent performance to price - tough to beat.  Maybe smaller panel speakers from DIPTYQUE or Final 15 electrostatic.

Volti Razz or Lucera might have the clarity and speed you’ll like, but they’re very efficient so may not match your amplification

Probably your best bet is to review TAS periodic list of components/speakers, then go and demo speakers at audio stores and shows.

GoldenEar Triton is a musical speaker that images well.  Harbeth/Hegel combo, Monitor Audio, KEF…so many choices.
