should I upgrade my amp


My system contains Spica TC-50 speakers, Velodyne F series servo subwoofer, sony scd ce775 player, Adcom gfp 710 preamp and Adcom 545 mkII amp. Should I upgrade by replacing the amp with the Musical Fidelity Acr3 amp which can be bought for around a grand? Should I not even consider this unless I also change my pre-amp?

Thanks in advance for the advice

The Musical fidelity amp is killer for the used price. If you like the 545 sound you'll love the MF amp and preamp. I agree that the preamp is as important as the amp, when funding allows I would upgrade both to MF gear. If you don't need the extra power I would avoid the Adcom 555 like the plague, the 545 sounds so much better from top to bottom, but on power hungry speakers it does clip easily....
