I'm sure that the Signature versions are further improved, so to replace them with something significantly better may prove to be a relatively costly endeavor. In order to help you with some possible suggestions we would need to know some additional details... what is your target budget range, do you want another monitor or would you consider a floor standing speaker, what electronics do you have or plan on using, and what types of music you primarily listen to? Hopefully we can come up with some ideas for your consideration.

Thank Bill, I was editing my post prior your reply as I hit the "submit" button by mistake.
I really like film music scores, from Hans Zimmer as an example. I am not into jazz at all, I enjoy the likes of Enya, Loreena McKennitt, music of the world, some classic from time to time. I like also well recorded acoustic music. Some Depeche Mode and death metal depending how I feel
I too often find piano is rough on my ears, unfortunately. Another thing, I will need the speaker for some TV watching and 2.0 home cinema.
