Belles 150A or keep current amp


I use Vandersteen 2ce speakers with an old Krell KST 100 amp, YBA 2 preamp in a 10 x 12 room, modest volumes (85db nominal, 95 db peaks) playing mostly jazz. I received the amp with all cap replacements for free from a cousin. I've heard better but is it worth it to drop $1K - 1.5K on an amp,say a Belles?

Audioconnection, I owned Vandersteen 2CE sigs and tried them in a similar sized room. Very difficult to get the most out of them in that room. My problem was as much the visual aspect of those large monoliths dominating a room as it was getting them to sound good. If you looked through my posts, you would find me recommending the Vandy 1C as one of the lowest cost ways to get into hifi sound.
Now, $6K speakers? I paid $1,200 for mine and I would definitely chose them over the 2CE sigs.
