Itching for better sound

Pretty happy with sound through my Sennheiser HD700s listening through headphone amp to classical CDs on Marantz CD6006...but too much headphone listening makes my ears buzz, so I want to start listening more through speakers.

Could set up either the Marantz or a NAD 516bee cd player, connected with RCA to an old Denon AVR1404 receiver to speakers.  My PSB speakers are fair.  What I want to know is how much will a pair of Kef LS50s improve my sound?  Is my $800cdn (used) better spent on something else--other speakers or another component?

Rogue Audio makes nice products at decent price.

I have nice collections of headphones including Stax 009s, Raal Sr1a and HD800s.

But headphone can not beat speakers in dynamic illusion although Sr1a get close to speaker.
