Upgrade path - replace KEF LS50 Anniv or Roksan Kandy K2 Int Amp

[TobesEtc]

For well over a decade (maybe 17 years?) I've had a system built around KEF LS50 Anniversary speakers and Roksan Kandy K2 Integrated Amp. Both bought new. Both, iirc, about £800 each. Sources are Yamaha CD-S2000 CD, Eversolo Z8 Dac and highly modified Technics SL1200. I'm not interesting in replacing the sources but I'm "getting the itch" to replace the amp and/or the speakers.

Small room. System works well but I have to give it some volume to come alive, so I think I'd like something that is nice and clear, well seperated, at all volumes. Not needing to turn up the volume to come alive.

Have thought about Yamaha A-S1200 or Advance Paris A10 Classis. (This makes me think it's a visual change I'm after - lovely VUs!). But, would I be better changing the speakers instead. Similar budget (£2.5K). PMC Phrophecy?

Figured I'd ask the Illuminati...

You say small room. How small?
If replacing speakers it will need to be with some you can actually audition in that room.
