It would be interesting to hear what decision you made and how you feel about it now.
If you’re still weighing up your options I’d say spend the whole amount on new loudspeakers, full bandwidth designs flat down to at least 40Hz if you have the bookshelf QRs. If you have the QR5 floorstanders then your question becomes a lot more difficult as then your system looks pretty good already. You won’t need to ever change your amp until you have speakers that can benefit from more than the 50 watts per channel the Brio R can deliver.
In any the easy answer for me is to suggest spending your money on whatever makes you want to listen to music more.
Remember, the most expensive system in the world is just another example of money gone up in smoke if you hardly ever feel like listening to it.
