What to Replace home cinema speaker setup with??

Right i really want to replace my current home cinema setup.

I have an aging Sony STR DH800 av amp,
Tannoy mercury m3 floor standers,
Tannoy mercury m1 bookshelfs for rears,
Tannoy Mc centre
Tannoy sub from the sfx range

Now ive decided on the Sony dh1050 for the amp which is available for £400.

I have got about £600 for the speakers i dont mind second hand but they have to have some real punch

Thanks for the in depth reply

Sorry that was a typo its the DN1050 I was looking at. I will look at the other amps you have suggested.

1) i was thinking of getting a better sub so will look at your suggestion

2) Never thought about getting a new centre

4) Im not sure what you mean with mass loading???

5) Surprisingly I have ordered van damme blue cables i went for a slightly thicker one

Cheers for clearing that up for me.

1 more question, the left m3 pops when at a higher volume does that mean its blown?

Right the speaker is blown as its scratching. The other speaker isnt making the noise but as soon as i push it slighty i can feel and hear llike its rubbing against something.

I have tried to find replacement speaker but no one does replacements so i dont know what to do??

I had a look as thats what i was going to do but the drivers for the m1s are smaller so looks like i might try and see if i get a set of m3s for cheap

Finding m3 floorstanders or even m2 bookshelf (same drive unit) is becoming difficult

What alternative should i be looking at?
