Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT

Though I am an unabashed Vandy fan, I think the only way to know for sure is to audition them in your home alongside the Harbeth.
It is money well spend, and should 'scratch your itch'.

@karmapolice , 
Though I understand you desire to look into new speakers, I think your happiness with Harbeth should be something that keeps you from pursuing change-at least until you can find a dealer who will allow you to audition the Vandy's at home.
I have never heard Harbeth speakers, but I have heard great things about them. 
Yes, I would like to demo them, but I wouldn't sell my Treo's in order to find out if they floated my boat.
Just sayin'
Now, what was that quote about 'Answered Prayers'...🤔

+1 on contacting John Rutan (audioconnection).
He will give the dope on what you need to know.
Great advice, and free from pressure.

@karmapolice ,
I don't think you will be disappointed.
If space is an issue, you can do as I have and buy the Treo's and add a pair of 2wq subs-which is probably in the price range you mentioned, if buying used. Though a pair of Sub 3's would probably get you closer to a Kento if not a Quatro. Plus, you'd have the ability to place the subs where they are out of the way.
