Upgrade Amp or Speaker for 2 channel?


Noob here.BUT a dedicated 2 channel enthusiast for over 30 years.

Have not upgraded my system for over about 8 years.Need advice on which component would give me the best "improvement".

My system: Anthem TLP-1 ,Anthem PVA-2,Paradigm Studio Reference 100 V3,Denon D/A 500 dac,Arcam CD 73,Sony ES 5 disc cd player.

Used in a medium to large living room.Open concept modern house with high ceiling,wall to wall carpets.

Would appreciate advice!

My dealer wants me to trade the same model(studio 100s)Paradigms for version 5.He would give me $800 trade value for my 10 year old speakers in mint shape towards the recent version which now sells for $3K USD.

Or,should I upgrade the amp?

Thanks in advance!

I personally would not trade-in your spks. for the newer version of the same spk. and pay $2200! There's alot of real nice used spks. you could buy on AudioGon for 2K+. Not familiar w/your amp, but if you like the way your present spks. sound/look, I'd look into the amplification. Hope all works out well.
