Next Biggest Improvement after Speakers ?

I know that different speakers offer the biggest and most dramatic difference and/or sonic improvement over other components in a system.
In your opinion, from personal experience, what component[s] usually offers the NEXT biggest sonic difference and/or improvements: Front end? Preamp? Power amplifier? Interconnects and Cables?
In what order,[most to least]?

It's been said, but the room is the most important thing. An average system can sound good in a great room. A great system will sound average in a poor room.

Then address the source. Mlauner is right nothing will add back into the system what was missed at the source.

All things being equal speakers are the least important link in the chain.

Ivor is right in his hiarchy of importance. He just forgot to mention that the room is Number 1!!!

Rooms are easier and cheaper to tweak too!
