I think you have a very good system,I've owned stacked Quad 57 and ran them with AtmaSphere amp and pre-amp,and also with a 1961 Bell integrated tube amp.
They have a sound which draws you into the music, at least that's what my audio friends used to tell me.
They haven't said that about the last 4 or 5 pairs of speakers I've owned since.
If there is something that you feel is lacking with your sound,I think you need to elucidate what you feel your present components shortcomings are.
I think sometimes we think a change is due even when it isn't and we make expensive sideways and even backwards moves.
I don't know if you have invested in upgrades to your power delivery such as dedicated lines, upgraded power cords, line conditioning,even upgraded fuses can all improve on the sound you have now.Add in some room treatment devices if you haven't tried them, and for much less than you have budgeted,I think you will find the sound you are searching for,and not have any seller's remorse.
You still have some very well respected and sought after gear, which only needs a bit of upgrading perhaps a good going over by a tech of good repute is all that you need.
Selling all that you have and starting from scratch even with 50 grand may not get you anywhere as close to the sound you have now.
