Mike, I’ve had my 26’s from a ND5XS and 152/155XS system through NDS with 252/300 to where I am today and the 26’s have responded with every jump.
I’m sure there are much better speakers out there but my point was that I’ve remained happy with the PMC’s throughout. I no doubt will upgrade them at some point but in the context of the changes you’re planning. I’d definitely improve your source and/or amplifiers before your speakers.
Hi, I know it’s a little different but I recently bought an ex dem Kuzma stogi s. I’ve done some sideways moves over the years, gyrodec to Nottingham Analogue Ace Space (liked the gyro just not the tricky setting up) and now recently to the Stogi at recommendation of dealer, I had on trial and it blew me away. Very flowing musically great solid bass and air. The ace space felt lumpy in comparison. Its solid and is very heavy. It’s in your cost bracket so I’d recommend you take a look.
Good point Popeye but I don’t have the Rega or the 552. I guess it’s a matter of step by step. I have spent lots of money on hi fi with upgrades and always regret not going right to the best ( within reason) so who knows the speakers could be next.
Not sure I make it 45k but a lot. You are right.

I am however pleased that you are having fun at my expense.
