Legacy Focus SE or Magico A3


I am looking to upgrade my current speakers, and am looking at the Legacy Focus SE and the Magico A3 speakers, my amp is an Anthem P2 running through an Anthem MRX 520, my Phono stage is a VPI Prime going to a Parasound JC3+,  I also play CD's through a  Rotel RCD-1572, and I do not stream music. Would either of these speakers be a good match for my current set up or do any of you have any better suggestions for speakers at $10,000.00 or less. My room size is 20' X 32' X 8' tall ceilings.

I am currently listening to Paradigm Prestige 95F speakers, and I am trying to get better clarity on the vocals and more separation on the individual instruments, I mainly listen to Rock and Blues music, I have a sub woofer so I don't need speakers that are heavy into bass. I also listen to moderately loud to loud music.
Audiotroy, I don't see where my Rotel is a weak point, just because a CD player does not cost 5K does not make it bad.Fleschler, I will look into the used Focus to see what is out there, I live in Illinois and am only about 2 hours away from the legacy factory, which is where I heard the Focus SE's, and was impressed with their clarity.Thanks you all for your opinions and suggestions I will definitely look into some of the other choices you have presented me with especially the Joseph Audio speakers, I have checked them out online but have not heard them in person yet.Please keep the suggestions coming, but as for my amp the Anthem P2 that is staying the MRX is in the process of being replaced with a dedicated preamp.

The Anthem P series of amps is very well built and can basically drive any impedance speaker, check out some of the reviews and you will see that they do not cut corners on quality and are a very dependable amp.
For all of you out there talking about upgrading cables all of my cables are Kubala-Sosna cables, so I don't think I'm lacking in that department.
Sorry folks but I'll stick to my 325wpc Anthem P2 that is stable all the way down to a short (o ohms).Also I'm not looking for an integrated amp I much prefer a power amp and separate preamp.
Actually I'm looking into a used pair of the Magico V-3 that i have found locally through a dealer here in Illinois. I will be auditioning them next week at my house to see how they sound with my current system.
Thanks to every one at this point that have given me suggestions, as I have said I only live about 100 miles from Springfield IL, and I will be visiting the factory again in the next couple of weeks to reevaluate which of the Legacy speakers I can get the best deal on that will fit into my budget.Please keep listing other speakers until then that I might listen to in my area of the country.
