I don't have personal knowledge of the individual components to assess
where the weakest link or mismatch would be, but I find it hard to
imagine a scenario where a total replacement would be better than a
piece by piece upgrade--unless money is not a major issue! It would
probably focus the discussion more if you could indicate the sort of
money that you might consider spending.

The problem was coming here! Then I had this sudden urge to delve
into system upgrades and such. I am more interested in what an
ideal system would be and at what cost, and as such have not set a budget.

Assuming that you are happy with your power amp, I would suggest
upgrading your preamp to a valve based one. All this is also assuming
that you are able to sort out your speakers--looking at the discussion
on the other thread.

The speakers are active, so the amplifiers are built in.
