Default Cheap and cheerful upgrade

Hi,

I`m tight on cash and no audiophile so don`t laugh...

I`ve had a cheap Samsung mini system for the past 7 years, it claims
2x40Rms and is pretty loud for a smallish room, has been a very good
buy. I`m getting a bit fed up of the lack of decent low and high
frequencies, muddy low frequencies and general lack of warmth/depth.
I`m considering spending the minimum of cash to improve things, either

1.) better second hand speakers (car boot / ebay) to replace cheap
supplied ones. Does cabinet size make much of a difference to sound
quality?


So much so that you would be wise to buy speakers in enclosures.

2.) better speakers and a cheap second hand amp fed from line-out of
existing system.


I think your best bang for the buck is in the speakers.
