What is it that you don't like about your speakers ?
How can you be 100% sure it's really the speakers producing the sound/effect that you don't like so much? 
Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next
Agree with simao.You have a pretty well-balanced system right there.  It all depends on what you're trying to achieve, in more specific terms than "better".That being said, the CMII hits above it's price-bracket, so if it were me, I'd be looking a... 
Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge)
I have the exact same combination.The lack of direct track access irritates me.  The lack of different displays of time (overall, remaining) irritates me.  And the crazy clicking on pause certainly irritates me.Not a hint of mistracking though.  T... 
Revel Performa F-206 versus B&W CM-10S-2 How might they differ in sound quality??
I listened to CM10 series 2's against Harbeth, Paradigm, and Sonus Faber, and the B&W placed fourth.  The only speaker I've heard them sound better than was (at a different shop) GE Triton 2s. 
Power Wedge 116
I tried the AVA Humbuster and the Ebtech Hum X, which are supposed to eliminate different causes of hum, and neither of them worked for me.  I'm moving on to more expensive solutions. 
What is the future for Proac Speakers ?
You can find 12" square granite floor tiles in Lowes's or Home Depot.  Buy three per side and glue together with adhesive caulk (for constrained layering!).  Cool colors and a finished look... 
Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not?
De gustibus no est... etc. etc.Not saying audio speakers can't be used for home theatre, many very successfully.And some audio speakers are similarly voiced in that "technicolor" way: e.g. the Sonus Faber Venere's, which sounded very impressive fo... 
What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers
I ran B&W DM1800 speakers (with integral stands) as my main speakers for years.  They were great, and I didn't feel the need to upgrade for the longest of times.  B&W peaked with the Series III and pretty much went downhill since then.  Mo... 
KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others
My new 4D system leaves conventional stereo and 3D in the dust.Besides width, depth, and height, 4D adds the further dimension of PRAT.Thanks to the "magic" of 4D, you are transported through a wormhole to the experience of the actual audio event ... 
Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not?
Short answer: no.Speakers that have been designed with a view to their being used primarily in a HT system, will, typically, have been voiced differently.  In my experience they often have a "technicolor" quality that makes soundtracks sound very ...

Where's klh007 when you need him? 
$20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch!
Check out milpai's posts.  He searched for two years, travelled to a bunch of places, and eventually settled on the D48R.  *That* is a recommendation. 
KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others
How did you like the ProAc?  What didn't you like about the Liszts?The other speaker that should be on your list is the Spendor D9.And yes, check out also Dynaudio Contour 60. 
Soundstage........
^ This.Most basically, experiment with moving speakers wider apart and then closer together than you have them at the moment.  Likewise, experiment with pulling them out further from the wall behind them.  Then, when you have a handle on improveme...
