Best Speaker for classical music
You're right if the system can play classical music well then it can easily play everything else! The right choice of speaker also depends on your electronics and room. I'm not familiar with the Cantons but all other 3 manufacturers make fine spea...

What would give the best overall improvement

One of the shortcomings of entry level analog is what you're describing and not unique to the scout. If you have the acrylic platter changing to vpi's aluminum one would definitely give you more body, not sure about the air though. Not familiar wi... 
Speaker for nearfield listening?

Advice on speakers for a vintage system

Poor sounding analog?
I'm sorry but you've been Rega'd! I never understood the appeal of a Rega anything. They're made from crap and sound the same. If you're an analog veteran your ears are telling you the truth. Don't waste your time playing with this toy, its not go...

Gfroman, I was a long time PAD dealer and supporter, only dropped the line when the Ferrox line came out, then we moved to another brand. It wasn't our only one and it wasn't lemon, unlike their interconnects and speaker wires of the era the digit...
