Newbie needs advice

I have a Quad 34 pre-amp, Quad 306 power amp, Cerwin Vega VS-10 speakers and a pair of Vestax PDX 200 turntables. I also use a Vestax PMC-06 mixer which also works as a pre amp for the turntables. The mixer also has bass, treble and loudness controls. I also have the Mardaunt Short Alumini 9 is the subwoofer.

As you can see I have a DJ set up along side the vintage amps. My question is, how does the Quad sound quality compare with more up to date amps out today. I know everyone says if it sounds good to you then be happy, but I just like to know someones opinion with more experience. Is it worth me upgrading the Quads or would i get better sound quality with another amp.

I hope i'm not making an ass of myself asking these question.

Look forward to your replies

Inna - I'm using ortofon concordes on the turntables.

I feel the cerwin Vegas at this are the weak link in my set up and definately need to upgrade them.

Any advice on speakers that are known for nice clear tops yet nice and bassy?

And also a bit if advice on the Quads. Can I do much better, or maybe get them serviced and upgraded?

Many thanks

Thanks your all your advice.

Stanwal - When you say not recommending anything without knowing my taste better I'm assuming we are talking musical taste (newbie remember) :)...If this is the case I am a Mowtown, rare groove, rock, funk, soul and hip hop listener. I like the sound bassy yet i crave clarity, the tops must me crystal.

I dont get the chance to sample other systems so I am trusting you guys just to guide me in the right direction, I will do the rest.

Thanks
