Help me upgrade my speakers?

I have a pretty small space, and am dissatisfied with bass extension, as well as "airiness", and "transparency".  I have heard a similar setup to mine, but with a set of huge Dunlavy's.  It sounded great!  So I think my overall hardware is solid, and perhaps I'm lacking in the speaker department.  I've had the Dynaudios for quite a few years. 

The recent upgrade of the Bryston power amp, and Bryson preamp has added better bass extension, detail, and "quickness", and even a nice sound stage increase.

I currently have the following:

Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII speakers
Bryston 4BSST power amp
Bryston BP-25 preamp
Rega Aria phono stage
VPI Prime Scout turntable

I've toyed with the idea of a set of Totem Element Fire, or maybe B&W 805D3.  I'm looking for recommendations for a smaller space.  Would love to hear Agon's ideas.

I have  the same speakers.   Great bass extension for their size.  Sounds like you want something more full range.   I also have OHM Walsh speakers for that.  If your space is small a smaller model would do and not break the bank. 

You might try some power conditioning to take things up a notch.  

What IC between amp and preamp?
