Help with speaker upgrade

I wanna know the best upgrade (value don't matter) to my hi fi sound.
*Upgrade OEM amp with MS8?
*Change speakers with BAVsound speaker and include tweeters
*Change speakers to other aftermarket like "Focal".

I kept the stock amp and used Focal speakers. I am very happy with the results. The Focal's have tweeters.

I used the ISC 100 speakers but you can upgrade from there. I just couldn't tell the difference from the next level up and cost went from $129 per pair to $600.

You are very limited in choices because the door and back speakers are only four inches.

But which aspects focal enhanced?

The HI FI is a good system, but without tweeters doors we lose soundstage, I use FLAC that I put in IDrive HD, With flac I have more punch in the bass and Lower distortions on high volumes, but I wanna little more definitions in high volumes.

The Focals have a tweeter. Here is my replacement link:

It has pictures of the stock speakers and the Focal replacements. The Focals I chose have the tweeter integrated into the speaker. The $600 Focals have a separate tweeter that goes in the door pillar.
