Recent windfall has allowed me a small bit of geld for equipment...but I 
have no idea which way to go. I have a good "redbook" solution, no vinyl, 
nice speakers(though I would like to try something different ), nice 
cables, room treatments, etc..my equipment:

Denon 2900 and Creek CD player, squeezebox, oppo 970
Von Schweikert VR-4 SR, QUAD ESLs, Link Audio monitors, B_W 801s
DAC: Mytek Stereo 96, Crane Song HEDD
Cables--Vampire Wire,  MIT
Integrated amp-Mastersound reference 845
power amp--FM Acoustics , bryston, hafler
Hydra and PS Audio Quintet power conditioners, GUTWIRE AC cords
vibrapods, room treatments from GIK acoustics and Auralex, various other 
accessories(some resulting from the fog of voodoo slinging salesmen, some 
actually good purchases)

So...I have about 5500 USD or so for spending. I love my AMPs, cables, 
and enjoy my DACs and listening to CDs..What i am curious about is new 
speakers, a "decent" SACD-only or universal(with no transcoding of DSD 
stream) player , and much less so, Vinyl..What would you do?? Can you 
offer me. 

suggestions for: 

1.)speakers in the 5500.00(US Dollars, not EURO) price range(full range) 
(What I am not getting 
out of the VR-4 is enough detail, bass extension, and "speed"/transient 
response..Quads are the same way, but I use them for mastering and have 
gotten used to their sound..I love Euphonic sounding gear and detail...
2.)SACD player in the above price range(the denon doesnt cut it, Oppo 
transcodes).id like to hear SACD on a decent player!
3.) Vinyl(??)solution in the above price range..I dont give half a 
continental damn about Vinyl, but I put it up there at any rate..

any suggestions would be very, very much appreciated. I have done a lot 
of reading, but value your feedback.
