Suggestions needed. Speaker audition...Dallas?


Have finally decided to upgrade my speakers and need suggestions.
System:
Denon 2802
Bryston 3b (powering mains)
Arcam cd
Velodyn Subwoofer
Polk Monitor 5's

Tried some Paradigm SR 20's and was less than impressed. Much of the music just seemed lost. At equal levels a/b'ed with the Polks there was just so much missing. Vocals were nice but much of the music was so far in the background.
A lot of reading here and elsewhere has led me to Dynaudio Contour SE, Totem Hawk or Arrow, and Tyler Taylo Reference or Linbrook Signatures(no where to audition). An upcoming trip to Dallas will allow me a chance to audition the Dyn's and the Totem at Krystal Clear Audio. I am hoping for suggestions of other speakers and stores in the area.
Looking for accuracy, soundstage, depth, pace while maintaining the feel of the music.
Thanks
Steve

Scoly1, if you are upgrading a two channel only system I would skip all of these dealers and talk to Galen Carol Audio in San Antonio. His lines are much more complete for audio only and feature the best brands that each of the Dallas dealers carry, all in one spot. You're much more likely to get careful, focused and expert service from him as well as a better understanding of what it takes to get great sound from a system. In my experience, this means a lot when you are prepared to spend more than a couple of hundred dollars.
