Great detail, refinement, mid-price office system?

I am looking to improve resolution, detail, tone in an average sized-office 14 X 14 X 10 feet where only classical, mostly chamber music will be played at low to moderate volumes. Current system is Proac Response 1s, Onix integrated amp OA21s, 50 WPC. Jolida JD100A Stage 1 mod (Underwood) and where restrictions of space for components is 12" depth.
Current system is OK, but would like more detail and transparency, particularly for chamber music and also piano and female vocals.
Suggestions for improvement, please, where budget limit is $2K per component, used.

Tried Ridge Street Poeima!, Pure Note Cerulean, Verastarr Silver Reference - I dont think Ric's cables would be a significant improvement on those. I was thinking either the amp or the CD (or ? the speakers) or all - but that would be beyond budget.
But thanks,Cdc2 for comment.

Only Walker SST.
The probable weakest link - because it is the oldest design - is the int amp - 1993. I am tempted by the North Star 192 system however, but would I then have to get a new int amp to optimize the features of the 192 DAC/Transport?
That will exceed budget, though, to replace both.
