Upgrading from Tyler Ref Monitors


Well I built my first system about a year ago and am happy with the setup...the only problem is a slight lack of bass (which I dont miss all that much) Rather than invest in a sub, I figured I'd just upgrade to a set of speakers that has a bit more bass

My current setup is:
Tyler Ref Monitors
Rogue Magnum 88/99 amp/pre
CAL CL25 cd player
am using JPS ultra interconnects
signal cable biwire shotguns speaker cable

I'm looking at used speakers <3$K used
preferrably with a small footprint
nothing that looks like it belongs on star-trek!

What have people upgraded to from the Tyler Ref's?
I'm sure the Linbrooks are great, and I know how loyal Tyler customers are...I'm considering these already so no need to chime in on this one.

My short list so far includes:
Dynaudio Contour 3.0
Dynaudio Contour 3.3
Merlin VSM w/ BAM
SF Extrema
SF Guarneri
Avalon Avatar
Audio Physics Virgo III

anything else that I really should add?

My listening room is roughly 16x16, but I move every year or two (joy of consulting)
I listen to: Fleetwood Mac, Sting, Peter Paul and Mary, Santana, U2, Greatful Dead, Waylan Jennings, Rusted Root, Dave Mathews, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, etc...

ps, I'm not a fan of planar speakers

Thanks but I'm gonna be buying used... (and all I'd have to lose would be shipping +restock fees which add up real fast)
