Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have
OP-much will be dependent upon how one approaches building the system.Start out on a lower scale and move up the chain. Or, start at the top of the chain. 
Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs

Bob-I concur w/ you- every Jazz fan must own "Swiss Movement". 
Sunfire HRS-10 or SVS SB-2000
beernut-if you can consider a REL sub (would sonically match your Maggies) then this is up for another consideration. I have heard both Sunfire + REL on several occasions, several different systems/rooms and neither disappoints. 
Theil CS 2.3 v Paradigm Studio 100v2
Thanks! for the update- geph0007-The Thiel is an excellent Rock music speaker, IMO.OTOH, if you are into a more vintage system/sound, then the Infinity fits that bill as well.  Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Krell Restoration

jlaz-what did you not like about Naim? 
Thiel 1.6 vs 3.6 in Small(ish) Room
Dusty-another vote for neither. Big fan of Thiel speakers here. Most models need room to breathe (no pun). A smaller model like the 1.6 will do well in a small space, while, a larger model (more drivers) like the 3.6 will do better in a larger spa... 
Jazz for aficionados
Big fan of the trio as well- Brad Mehldau is one of the best!
