Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s.
You already have the best cables - why not outfitting them with tech flex and the best connectors.  It would make a real difference.

And what wine was this? 
A little Patience sometimes pays off! (Kef LS50 content)
 +++1 great advice on the 5T00UP.  Electrically, it is almost like no cable at all.  Fantastic cable, in par with the high-end brands' most expensive ones as they tend to have the same gauge, at a fraction of the cost.

B&W 685's Vs KEF LS50
The ls50 would be an improvement in refinenement and tones,  but you may end up trading one 685 good quality for a ls50 good quality.   Like mzk says, you would get more out of the r300.

Totem Hawks - my impressions
I wonder how the new SKY (tower and bookshelves) compare to the Hawks.. .higher level of transparency?   
Best bookshelf speakers
Not sure what your listening space is, but mine has always allowed a 7ft equilateral triangle and sometimes 9ft in my living room.... Latest arrival in my 7ft triangle is an old pair of totem hawks,  and this is the best compromise i have ever had... 
Totem Hawks - my impressions
Yes, bass response, clarity, soundstage, transparency.... So what bookshelf or tower would you recommend to get deeper into the music @whitestix?
