Best speakers for amp

Hey folks,

I'm looking at upgrading speakers from my B&W DM601S2s. I currently run a NAD C370 with NAD C541 CD Player.

I'd like to keep my amp...how much do you think I should spend maximum on my speakers before I'd need a better amp? Are there any models you would recommend?

In upgrading, I'd like to improve the presence, imaging, and soundstaging, as well as enhancing the bass response.

Any examples of speakers used with this amp? I've thought about the higher end B&W models, such as the DM602S3 or CDM1NT. I've even considered the Nautilus 805s, but would I be wasting money?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

If you were to venture into HT, I'd look into MIRAGE loud-
speakers. They are easy to drive, sound great with any SS
int. amp./receiver and have a wonderful soundstage.(www.tsto.com. The Stereo Trading Outlet is selling Mirage
790 loundspeaker for $495) The VDH D102 interconnect is an
excellent cable. I ordered mine through hificables.co.uk. If I were to consider B&W CDM 1 NT/805's, I would most certainly look into a higher level of amplification. IMHO,
B&W's need a high quality tube amp/or warm SS amp to sound
musical.
