What should I choose??

I have the old B&W 802d's.  I also have the older, first generation, Bryston 14bsst amp (now 15 years old). Both of them are performing well and are in mint shape.  My question is this:  I am interested in the new Bryston 14cubed amp...and I am also interested in the new B&W 802D'3.  But I can't afford to do both.  Should I focus on getting the amp first or the speakers?  Please, I don't need to be told to buy amps or speakers other then the ones I am asking about as I am a big fan of my system.  I just know that B&W has reworked their D series and that Bryston has done the same with their amps.  thanks, Jim

First see if you can get a pair of the amps to audition with your current speakers.  That will make your decision between amps.  I don't agree with things like significant improvements over newer models.  That depends on the system that is driving the speakers (source, preamp, and amp).  Each components adds something to the sound and depending n the design can add a bigger improvement or just a little improvement.

Happy Listening.
