Best way to upgrade from Krell 400xi


I just bought a new pair of SP Tech 3.0 speakers, and I am thrilled to pieces with them. So thrilled that I am now dreaming of upgrading from my Krell 400xi. Don't get me wrong. The system sounds wonderful--I also have Musical Fidelity A5 CD player--but I'm convinced it could all sound wonderfuller, particularly with speakers this good. If I were to venture into separates, would it be better to buy a new amp and use the Krell as a pre-amp until making the next leap, or do it the other way around? Or simply buy a better integrated? I would appreciate your suggestions.

Restock - it is a bit difficoult to compare the Krell to Pass intaegrated, since the both offer very different perspectives - 400xi is a typical flavour 1 sound(fast and transparent), and Int150 is a flavor 2 (a bit warm and forgiving).

If you want something similar to Krell in overall charakter, only better, look for sth like Gryphon Callisto 2100/2200/Diablo integrateds.
