I would appreciate some speaker suggestions

I haven't been involved in stereo for a quarter of a century. I am going to assume that speakers have made some significant strides in this time frame. I currently listen to four Kef 105.2 speakers. I have them set up where I can switch between 2 or 4 speakers (1-2 per side in stereo) depending on the material I listen to. I have no issue with buying used or older speakers. Ten year old speakers would be new to me. In general, I like the sound of the old Kef's especially the midrange but I believe the high and low end could be better. I appreciate any help and insight you can give me on a speaker upgrade. I would be playing both CDs and records. I listen to all types of music. My budget is about 2.5K for the speakers but would prefer to spend less than 2K. Once again, thanks for the help. Regards, Gary

Dunlavy in that range would get you into a model IV but thats a big speaker to get if you dont know what next room may bring, VMPS is a company I like and use as they are Hybrid Planar/dynamic speakers, these speakers again can be a gamble if your new room gets smaller.
I hate to say it but you may be best served knowing exactly where you are going to end up and then buy speakers because a choice today could be a big mistake tomorrow.

Again I think you are putting the cart before the horse, say you buy a Magnepan 3.6, Dunlavy IV, large Kef or any number of other speakers, then move into a much smaller room? Guess what you will have made a mistake, so if you are pretty sure your gonna move then let that play out before you upgrade.
