Eggleston Works Andra II speakers as forever speakers.
I had a pair of Vandersteen 2Ci speakers in my living room for 18 years and only sold them to get the 2Ce signatures.   I liked the 2Ci speakers more.   
Looking for upgrade advice
If you want more dynamics in a large room, you need bigger speakers.  Changing them will make the biggest difference, good or bad.  After that, more power unless you buy efficient speakers.

When I had my 3B, it was mated to an Odyssey Stratos Extreme amp and I got many a goosebump.  You must use the 6h23neb tubes in the preamp to get this.

Very "busy" looking and an mdf platter.  Better not get it wet or it will warp.  Chinese overkill. 
Dual Golden 1 Turntable has low volume even with phone stage??
Does the Dual have a built in phono stage?  If it does, you need to put the turntable on the aux input and should have plenty of volume. 
Roger Waters-Amused to Death
I love it.  I have both the vinyl and the SACD.  The Q Sound surrounds you with music in a 2 channel system.  It is always one of my "go to" pieces of music.
