system:HK FL8380 cdp as transport> Micromega Mydac> Hafler100
pre> HaflerDH220> B&Wdm303's w/B&WsubASW300.Also,but offline
PinkTriangle tt(awaiting belt).Listening room is living room/
12x20.stereo at one end/me at other.Listen to/rock,blues,jazz and other eclectic.I have upgrade bug.Haflers are 30yrs.old and never re-capped or other so one thought is modify..Van Alstine/Musical Concepts.Other ideas:new/used speakers-Triton 7's,Maggie SuperMMG..Possibly replace Haflers w/integrated..Musical Fidelity or other.Also tube curious.As it stands,I like what I have,very happy but worried a bit about Haflers/age...Love the B&W's but want to check out a few speakers anyway.Audio Den on Long Island is nearby so will start
there first.Also..cabling is old school Monster. WireWorld from
cdp to dac(starlight .5m).So that's the story.Any ideas,advice
is greatly appreciated.

Buy a used integrated amp made in the last ~5 years.

If you want new, the Marantz 8005 is highly recommended and has phono stage.

If working the Haflers are easily sold.
