reference speakers or super amp and good speakers


I'm having a hard time deciding to buy the cary v12 amp with the Kef q7 speakers, or just get the Kef 201 speakers. I'll be spending the same amount either way, I'm just trying to decide which one give me the best sound. Oh, I have an Odyssey amp and a Rogue pre-amp if that helps you to help me.

Speakers, speakers, speakers. However, my own experience is, that excellent speakers leads to up-grading components. When I purchased Talon Audio speakers, I could no longer stand to listen to the less than stellar performance of my DVD player used for CD's, now an excellent transport. The same with my reciever, now an excellent pre-amp. Ditto my phono-pre, now trying my third, with a jump in price of about 3X each time. Also interconnects, phono cartridge, turn table, and so on. Not hiding the failings of your up-stream components is both extremely rewarding, and expensive.
