Goose, spot on analysis of Magico versus Joseph Audio versus Rockport sound. I remember being bowled over by the orginal Pearls at RMAF and Jeff's models have just gotten better. So tonally spot on for me.
Owning a used pair of Raidho D3.1s would probably stop me looking again forever. Michael's new Borresen brand stuff is rather nice although pricy.
I do enjoy Rockports, Tidal, Acoustic Zen, and many others. Finally, there sure is absolutely nothing wrong with the great current system you own, Romney80, so you can take your time with this and smile for a long time afterwards when you've found the perfect pair. At that price point, I think you can, especially with great used speakers, the way I'd go.
