I have spent considerable time with silvers and minis. The minis image better and are much less intrusive. If you love bass, stick with the Golds. They can't be beat for bass. Regardless, keep the sub.
Upgrading your CD will help but if you have digital outs, using the built in b&k d/a will help. However, if you want to hear a big change, you do need new speakers.
If you set the B&K's built in crossover properly, smaller speakers will still have as much impact with the PSB sub and probably image better. Want detail, imaging and amazing music, try smaller Thiels, any Coincident, Martin Logans or just about any B&W (I would gladly take 805s or even the 600 series over the golds any day). Good Luck
