Coincident Total Eclipse - replace with what?

I have Total Eclipse speakers. I augment this with a Bag Infrasub 18 and a custom crossover for the sub. I have about 14 k list in phono and phono amp driving a pair of Pass XA 60 's directly. Really loving it right now, but I have the upgrade bug as someone locally has offered me what I paid for my Eclipses. Any opinions on speakers further up the food chain in the Coincident line like the Victories? I really like their value and easy load as I am addicted to low power amps. I have no local dealer. I guess the main point is the new diaphram driver for the top end. The rest look like smaller evolutionary steps. The Reference is out of my price range. My fear is that the Total Eclipses were made with speakers all from the same manufacturer and the Victories are mixed. Thanks in advance.

Sean,

Depending on the age of your TEs, they can be upgraded to Mk.II status. This involves a crossover and internal wiring change, and outriggers for the spikes; contact Isreal Blume about this. I like my TEs a lot and won't be looking for new speakers for a long time.
