Help with a total system upgrade.


Hello all,

I'm looking to upgrade my system and I need some of your help. I am at the point where I think I need to spend a lot of money to hear a nice improvement over what I have now. But I don't want to go too crazy with the money. I want a warm, clear sound with a nice soundstage. Any advice?

My current amp is a VTL-IT-85 Integrated.

My upgrade ideas are: Graaf GM-50, BAT VK-300x, Unison Sinfonia, Leben CS 600 Audiomat, Jadis? All are integrated amps, but I am open to the idea of separates.

My CD Player is a Cambridge Audio 840c.

Upgrade to? Under $5000? I have no idea here.

My speakers are Proac Signature 2000's

My upgrade ideas are: Harbeth 7 ES-3, Proac D Two, Vienna Mozart Grand, Reference 3A, Sonus Faber, or Opera?

Has anyone listened to any of these or do you have any thoughts about them compared to what I have now?

Thanks very much for your inputs.

If you haven't messed around with room treatments yet I would look into that first. As others have said, your gear is pretty good already and you admit it might take quite a bit of $$$ to truly upgrade. Straighten out your room first then look at upgrades. Or, better yet, mess around with treatments while researching upgrades - double your fun!
