You're already on that level. You'd need double the money to maybe get a 20, 25, 30%. Much as we could ascribe flat figures to this anyway.
Beyond that, it's pretty much an exponential relation
I ended up going down the active studio monitors route instead as I wanted to use them for recording too. I think I prefer that approach anyway so long as they're a bit nice and not too overly analytical/flat. I don't really want the speakers to flatter or enhance the mix much, I'd rather hear it as intended, good or bad. Mackie MR5s did that job for me. Sold them as I didn't have anywhere to put them when we moved house but wish I held onto them - would have been ideal for the amp/modeller home setup I'm planning!
Recently both the display and CD player on my uniti packed up do I am looking to get it repaired. However, I also fancy a change so I am looking at a replacement Unity Star or Nova, or I may go down the active wireless speaker route. I have my eye on either system audio or Buchardt A500s with a wireless hub. The room correction software interests me.
That's been my approach for the last 36 years
I got my set up for my 21st birthday ( Heybrook HB1 speakers, QED amp, Thorens turntable, Yamaha cassette deck ).
The door stopped opening properly on the cassette deck so that's in the loft, and the QED amp died - replaced by a Pioneer with a similar approach, in that you can have it with or without tone controls (I have them switched off).
I use the amp and speakers daily as they are connected to my PC, and I'm listening to some of my music on Bamdcamp as I type.
I like what I have (what's left of it) and have never felt the need to change.
I had an online look at Neumann KH120 and they look impressive. I note that they have balanced analogue inputs, what are you using in front of the actives?

... That was almost 4 years ago, and I don't necessarily miss it. It's fun stuff to have, and I would happily build a new system if I had money and space, but I'd say I'm less precious than I was then. I'm due to move into a one bedroomed house next week, and I'm looking at getting one of the Bose Wave systems. It will do me until I have the luxury to build a nicer system.
If you want a system terminating in a pair of headphones, space isn't an issue at all, you're golden anywhere. You can get pretty damn crazy with headphones, both in quality and budget! And i do mean crazy
(but nothing beats a proper speaker system; that slam and sense of presence.. nigh impossible to emulate)

I might have helped make that! Hope it’s serving you well!
