Still not sure what "upgrade" means to you. What do you think could be better (or just different) -- bass, midrange, highs, volume, clarity, dynamic range, imaging, physical appearance? That list could continue, but hope you get the idea.

Here’s a pair of Joseph Audio Pearls in your price range. They will blow away your 804s in every conceivable way.

Or for quite a bit less these AZ Crescendos would also be a big upgrade.
