Advice needed

Hello-
I have just over 3k to spend on new equipment. I currently am running Pro Tools LE with an 002 with a Behringer AD8000 hooked up to it via ADAT. For pres I have a 4 channel Sytek and an API 3124. For compressors I have a Joemeek SC2 and a MXR Dual Limiter. For mics I have a U87Ai, C414s, C451s, AEA R92, 421s, 57s, D112s, Sure KSM27s. For effects I have an Ibanez AD202 and a Lexicon Prime Time II. For monitors I have JBL LSR4328s and Yamaha HS50s. What would you suggest putting my money towards? I am thinking about a Lynx Aurora 8, but I'm not sure whether I should wait until I have more outboard for that. I've also been looking at ribbon mics like the 4038 and r82, as well as compressors like the MC77, Roll Music Systems, Drawmer 1968, and TFPro P38. Any advice would be great!

Thank you,

Jake

I am sure some will tell you to upgrade your converters, NTTAWWT

but I would favor a good stereo compressor. The 1968 is great and there are many other nice units in that price range.

I would be remiss if I didn't inquire- how are your acoustic treatments?

Joeq hit the nail on the head...

Acoustic treatment.

A wider variety of mics is also good. Earthworks ruler-flat SDCs come in handy, a few more choices in vocal mics is a good idea - Ribbon mics are popular too : Some of the Crowley and Tripp mics look interesting....
