Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers

I did the opposite most folks on forum suggested. I already had Bose 901 Series VI speakers but built my system around them. My setup includes Mcintosh MC501's, C2500 Preamp, Thurman Conditioner, Cary 100 DAC, which I'm selling, Oppo 105D, and MusicHall 7.1 turntable. I use all Cardas Golden XLR Cables except for Bose Equalizer which I use Cardas Golder RCA's. I mostly stream using dedicated MacBook 13" retina..

The Bose sound really good but would like suggestions for better. My range? Not sure, I can spend up to 10K but would rather stay in the 3-6K range.

Thanks!

IMO,if you can go 10 grand  i would buy used and save on the 50% deprecation  right as you unpack them.At that price you can basically get 25 grand speakers so id say your sitting pretty.I would not suggest Dynaudio as your amps are to slow and dont mate well.Been there myself and failed miserably.If your keeping the 501s , although i wouldn't as there are better amps i would get on the Mac sites and inquire there.You will get much better suggestions on what mates.

I think back in day a lot used the 802d with mac gear,i guess it really depends on what your seeking in sound. For me those 2 brands i would never want.I prefer speed,accuracy,detail etc which neither have been accused of or shouldn't. The 802d was a popular speaker no doubt but for 10 grand you can do much much better IMO.
