Replacement for Monitor Audio RX6

Looking to upgrade my speakers and asking for suggestions. Moved away from 5.1 and looking for 2 channel only. My set up will be

Monitor Audio RX6 in black gloss
OPPO 105,
Rotel RMB 1075

I mostly listen to CD or streaming music and also require speakers to give wide sound stage as use for movies sometimes.

Any recommendations?

How about PSB Synchrony .

Looking to spend no more than $2500 used. Are the speakers the weakest link or does the power amp need changing?

My room is 15 by 15, wood floors and i prefer a warmer sound.

Thanks for advice in advance

Your current speakers are pretty good. Maybe consider getting a nice active preamp instead.

The weakest link will be determined by your personal taste and how well you match your equipment. Any piece in the system can be the weakest link.

With your current system, is there anything you are trying to fix? Something you're unhappy with? If there is, that will help a lot with recommendations.

"So do you think buying a decent pre amp is a better option than new speakers? Any suggestions of pre amp that would work well with Rotel and Oppo?"

A decent preamp, no. A good preamp, then yes. Some good options (used): Ayre K5, CJ Premier 18, VTL 2.5, BAT 3.
