Upgrade from Martin Logan Sequel II's to ????????


10 years ago my re-paneled & new Capped crossover Martin Logan Sequel II’s speakers were the best part of my system. Now 10 years later after some upgrades I think they are the weakest link. I am looking for suggestions on a different speaker under 5K or preferably under 3k if I can swing it.

Current equipment list: McIntosh C49 Preamp, VPI Classic Table with a AT OC9XSL Cart, Mark Levinson  No 23 Amp. Currently using the C49’s built in DAC and Phono Preamp. Streaming Qobuz via USB through a MacMini 2018 using BitPerfect to bypass any alteration to the bits (I hope).

Room is 13 feet wide x 16 feet long x 8 foot ceilings. Not sure what else to list. Suggestions?

Since you like panels, look at these

Although they're a couple generations old now, a step ahead comparing your ML's

Still relavant and better mids/highs than many current $10K speakers?

Long game-If you're a real LP fan, separate phono and upgrade from the AT OC9 to ART9(big upgrade for not much $)
