Help me upgrade my beginner system!

As a start I will provide few thoughts for consideration that may help I and others provide helpful input.

From my perspective one problem you have is that the system you own seems very well balanced. Thus the 'where to start' thinking is understandable.

Have done anything to tune your room? If not would you consider doing so? Consider the room as a principle component of your system.

If looking to change the character of your system then a change in speakers would be a way to start. That may result in a change in amplification. If improving on the sound you have is the objective them improving the source components can bring about refinement. Thus you need to define your objective.

What is the priority between streaming and vinyl listening? As an example, streaming for me is background listening and a way to find new music. I otherwise listen to CDs via transport and DAC.

I would not put money into power conditioning.  A surge protector by Brick Wall may be a good idea.

I went for the Furman P1800 PFR Power Conditioner. Plug it into your separate circuit. Plug everything into it! Done

Thanks for all of the advice so far! It's clear the most prevalent suggestion is to upgrade the speakers. @curiousjim I LOVE the GoldenEar floorstanders but unfortunately the ones I want are out of my price range. I do like the BRXs a lot but I think I will audition speakers that my store carries. They deal with PSB, Sonner Audio (I fell in love with these at AXPONA), Audio Physic, Dali, Focal, and KEF - so if anyone has any recommendations of a model you think would pair well with the Peachtree, I'd appreciate that. Cost will probably be a factor but I may pitch in some extra dollars after the trade. In terms of my room and what I listen to -  I've converted a small bedroom (12x14) into a dedicated music room. I listen to pop, rock, electronica, jazz and classical.

The next upgrade suggested was an integrated amp and/or DAC. I'm actually considering this in lieu of a speaker upgrade. While I like my Peachtree, I wouldn't mind upgrading to something else - in particular the NAD M33, which my shop carries. I lose the Elac Discovery w/Roon this way (more trade-in $$!), but I've read that NAD's BluOS ecosystem is very nice. In terms of a DAC, my shop doesn't carry anything new that jumps out to me as a must-have, but they do have a lot of used gear so there may be something in the back room that might make sense.

@yoyoyaya and @bluorion, I have an older Cardas digital coax cable going from the Elac Discovery to the Peachtree, Morrow Audio SP3 speaker cables, and an Ice Age Audio Copper-Silver power cord going from the Peachtree to the Tice. I think I would do well getting an SBooster for the Elac instead of using the native wall wart, but that's an easy fix. Unfortunately the Technics turntable interconnects are hard-wired in, so I'd need to have someone service it to upgrade those.

PSB, Sonner and KEF are 3 very different but great brands, if you can try them out, (Crutchfield 60 days) I would start there. Bookshelf.
