Help with speakers for audio refinement complete


Hey folks, I need some guidance for speaker selection for my system. I have an audio refinement complete integrated amp currently used to power JM Lab Chorus 715's. I got these speakers as b-stock to replace a pair of spica's that were damaged beyond repair during a move. I've never been completely happy with this current combo, but I can't quite verbalize what it is that I don't like.

My primary source is a Rega Planet cd player, but I also use a Music Hall MMF-5 turntable with a Creek phono stage. In addition, I'm using Hero interconnects and Wasatch speaker cables. My room is about 14 x 20 with 11' ceilings with my listening station about 9-11' from the speakers.

I hope the inclusion of the other equipment gives a frame of reference for my budgetary restrictions. Any insight would be appreciated. I have no shops in my town. However, I am 2 hours from several cities; so with planning I should be able to audition most options.

The Complete with the TC-50 was a great combination. Good recordings no matter what type of music sounded like they should. This also meant that bad recordings, typically rock, punk, ska, etc...would reproduce more of the same. However, the set-up was still dynamic enough to convey the energy of those bands, which I think was appropriate. The move which led to the loss of the speakers also gave me a much larger listening space, so I never had a chance to listen to them in a bigger room.

Thanks for the Triangle suggestion.
... I see this hasn't been a very sexy thread...Anyway, a friend suggested I try out Maggie MG12 or MMG with an upgraded crossover(?)...any thoughts?...Bueller? Bueller?
