Source or speakers, either can hold you back if not approx. the same level. I know that's quite a nebulous statement, but it's a big factor.
If you're bound for speakers, I am currently enjoying the Eminent Technology LFT-8A's. I have used Vandersteen and Magnepan speakers in past.
Try to audition whatever you will purchase; not always easy. You can always go to audioreview.com to see what others have to say. I have found it a good source from objective owners. You will be able to note their equipment, as well as discussions of their upgrades. Note especially the ratings; components with high ratings and numberous reviews are truly standout performers. Hint, hint, look at the Eminents!
Of course, now that you've gotten good advice from our other posters, you'll have to eventually upgrade the source too. It never ends. The best you can hope for is a remission in the disease's progression.
