Speakers or Amplifier

Thinking about another upgrade and looking for opinions on if I should upgrade my speakers or amplifier. My current system: Aerial 7T speakers, Jeff Rowland M525, Bricasti M1 DAC connected straight into the M525, and all WireWorld Silver inter-connect, power, and speaker cables. My room is 20' x 26' and treated with GIK acoustics. I listen to contemporary Jazz. My budget is 10K.

What is your goal? What do you hope to accomplish by changing equipment?

You have a large room and a relatively inefficient loudspeakers. Your power amp is a good choice for addressing the issue, but it can only go so far. Before replacing any components I would suggest trying different loudspeaker/listener positions to better couple the loudspeakers to the room. Start with all the acoustic panels removed.

Strongly agree with Guidocorona. How long have you had the Rowland amps and you're now thinking of replacing them. 24 hours ago you were down on subwoofers and now you're thinking about adding dual subs. What's the hurry?

Also, the F112 is designed for medium sized rooms. The Stereophile review of the 7t had them paired with the larger F113.
