First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc
B&K 200.2 or B&K 200.1 monoblocks. Your Monitor Audio speakers will benefit from the mosfet output stage. Not sure if both amps are in current production. On the used market these are a steal. 
Should I try to improve speakers at $2000.00 range

Adcom GFP565/PS Audio 200CX/Vandersteen 2C synergy
For whatever reason a NAD S300-S500(silver series) combo made the Vandersteen 3a sound better then several more expensive units during a Vandy demo. What a Vandy needs(my opinion) is an aggressive high speed/wide bandwith amp to knock some of the ... 
What started you on your audiophile journey .
At the age of 7 or so I would put my ear near the speaker of my parents early 70's Panasonic-FET Compact system. My mother would ask what are you doing? I told her I was trying to hear the words better(lol).
