What to upgrade from Totem Forrest?

Dear all,
It's been almost 9 years and I am tempted to upgrade my speaker. It's Totem Forest while it's a good speaker but I think it's a bit warm for my system which consists of: Sony XA-9000ES, TW Acustic 0.5 with Lyra Delos, and Lavardin amp.

My room is relatively small i.e. 4.5 X 5 meter.

Any advice on what to upgrade? budget is expected below 10k, I am looking for a natural and transparent but I don't expect to get electrostat though.

Thanks in advance for the advice

Forrests are unique speakers that can show advantages with any kind of amplification from mid-powered tube amps to high-powered SS amps. Stable 8Ohm impedance makes it drivable by any amp. Transperency, clarity tone or speed, control and punch is up to you to decide.
I've swapped them for Aerial 10T and paid almost nothing for that fantastic upgrade. Aerial 10t need minimum 250Wpc.
