Started with $1k speakers … what now?

I got into this hobby during Covid, browsing YouTube reviews my first speakers were Polk L100s and Sonus Faber Lumina 1s. Not bad as an entry point, but wondering what would be the next level is where a speaker is built with fewer compromises in the drivers and crossover design.  My hope was that in the $5k range truer “hifi” entry points may be found in a small room system with a REL t5x. My source and amplification is already in the $5k range. 
 

I visited a hifi store recently but was overwhelmed by the amount of choice and unsure what would be an upgrade based on first listening impressions alone. 
 

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Forget upgrading for now...

Learn acoustics basic...

Learn about mechanical and electrical working controls of the system /room...

Then instead of being a buyer you will learn how to do thing right...

Taste matter way less than acoustics...😊

Only marketers dude plays with your tastes ...There is no tastes in acoustics done right...

For sure buying is more easy than learning by experiments and studying... But trust me it is more fun... And less costly to think before buying...

Try to put what you already have at his optimal level... You may be surprized by the difference between before and after...
