I was in a huge Bach phase about a year or so ago... and immediately after jumped into late romantics... but that's really just me.

As a composer, Bach is a genuine goldmine for inspirations, so I would personally continue listening to Bach, but still listen to others from different eras (that's what I'm doing, anyway). I would personally recommend Brahms and Rachmaninoff; they both, especially the former, use quite advanced contrapuntal technique and still introduce amazing Romantic stylistic depth.
