After a quick skim-read of a few reviews, it looks like your tt can come with a 2m blue as one of the options straight from the factory. Not being able to adjust VTA may affect compatibility with certain cartridges, and it looks like even the 2m red or blue you may need to sort something with the counterweight.

I'd say the 2m blue would be a great way to see what kind of improvements you can get from your current table, without being overkill in terms of matching with your other gear.
In my experience, one of the most important things to have a think about is the relationship between the speakers and your room. Then you need a well matched amp to drive them. The speaker/amp combo can only reproduce what they are fed, so obviously the source is hugely important in terms of what the whole system is going to sound like - what kind of sound are you looking for? Detail? Warmth?
Your speakers have reasonably high sensitivity so you could try a tube amp, I read the stereophile review of your Onkyo which says it has a decent phono stage and sounds a bit "tube like", but there's nothing quite like an actual tube amp... primaluna amps are worth a look, lots of good reviews and won't break the bank.
