Possible bookshelf upgrade

Hello to all.
Here is my question. In my bedroom I have as my mains a pair of Definitive Technology Studio 55. I am thinking of upgrading. I run these with a Marantz SR5010.One candidate is the Paradigm 15b. So, would I be gaining much doing this? They are in a 5.1 system. My budget is up to $2000. I have heard the Nola boxer, which is very nice. I am just not sure if at this range it would be significantly better. Thankx in advance for all advice.

Perhaps a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelf? I own them for my office and they are quite nice. Also, less than $2k.

How important is 2-channel audio to you?

It is, but need to make sacrifices. Would need something to fit both bills.

There are lots of speakers that can perform well in both stereo and front L/R duties.  The thing is that as you increase the quality of your speakers the Marantz will quickly become a bottleneck for performance, especially in stereo -- which is why I asked how important 2-channel is to you.  $2000 speakers are more befitting of a separate stereo pre and amp or a good integrated.  These can be incorporated into your existing system very easily.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.
