Thanks all for your help. By the way the drivers are original Tesla 6922s, I was thinking of switching them with new EH 6922s and save he Teslas for my preamp (Audible Illusions 3) So I will give further thought to buying a quad of EiKT-88. Everyb... 
Speaker upgrade
I have seen two pairs of proac 3.8 on sale on this site.I have the responce twos and they make magic. Heard other proacs and they also sounded wonderful. You don't have to buy a brand new speaker if an older model just gets it right.

It seems that everyone is recommending to buy the VPI 16.5I will have to agree with them.You must get the right kind of fluid and I heard that there are better replacement brushes out there, but see nothing wrong with the VPI brush.
