Clear upgrade from 10T's?

Here's my story....

My new home set up requires that my Ariel 10T's be fairly close to the wall (12-18 in.) so, though I really have enjoyed them, I'm not getting the best sound.

My question: What should I audition that,is a clear upgrade to the Ariels, and performs at its best near the wall?

I have Bryston 7ST monos driving the 10T's, a Cinepro 3KSE driving the center and surrounds and a Proceed AVP2 pre/pro.

Thanks for any guidance and advice.
