@ Harry, yes, there was a thread on a similar situation, with a list of 3 speakers. That thread seems to have gone for a walkabout.
There was a mention of the Magico S1, which the threadstarter liked very much. Conversely, there is a newer thread where the OP disliked the S1 (in comparison to two other speakers, which I believe was the same mentioned in the "deleted" thread).
If you are happy with the LS50, why not stick with it? Better (?) speakers tend to be bigger and go deeper, which may create bass issues. Also, the coaxial driver in the LS50 ameliorates the need for a minimum listening distance (or the output from the drivers don't gel together).
Having said that, I quite like the Magico S1 (Q1 may be better but more than twice as expensive and a very different presentation from the S series). Depending on the depth of your pockets, the new Wilson Benesch Discovery 2 may also be a good bet. Ubiq Audio Model One sounded very interesting from a brief listen.
Good luck
