Nice stuff too. With due respect to everyone else, I would start at the most important link, the speakers. Sell the Vandersteen 1's and get some 2 Ce's at least ($750 used), or else go with some B&W or Magnepan. Your present electronics can drive these and you will get great sound. Next, with due respect to the legendary Ampzilla, I would go with a newer amplifier, perhaps a BAT VK-200 (many for sale here) or an Aragon or such, or perhaps an old Counterpoint with or without mods by altavistaaudio.com?
