Troy - If your son wants your speakers, and you want to sell them, that's cool. The "standing pat" is not necessarily a recommendation, it was my way of telling you the first path to improvement would be the subs - either a pair of EP500's or something like the EP800.
Crossed at 60 Hz, you won't be able to localize an EP800, but a pair of EP500's would also be excellent, and not much more $$$.
If you sell your current system, my recommendation is contacting Debbie and getting the best price possible for a pair of M80's, a VP180 and either a pair of EP500's or a single EP800.
The M80's will deliver the dynamics you want with the dual mids/tweeters matching with the same line up in the VP180.
The subs handling the bass from 16 to 60 Hz (and keep in mind, it's not a brick wall - at 60 Hz, the M80's will be "down 3 dB", which is half the power - and roll off at 12 dB per octave below that), properly dialed in, will be noticeable on a lot of music.
Think of it as a modular "superspeaker" with a powered 12 inch driver handling the deepest bass.
