What to upgrade next?


I am happy with my system as it is, but I am, as I'm sure most of us are, looking for better and better sound. I'm not sure what my best next upgrade would be. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I do not have an unlimited budget, but I am not completely handicaped finacialy either. My system as it stands is as follows.

Linn Ikemi CDP
Conrad Johnson Premier 14 PREAMP
Conrad Johnson Premier 11A AMP
ProAc Responce 2.5 SPEAKERS
Kimber Silver Streak INTERCONECTS
Kimber 8TC Speaker Cables Double run for Biwire

Thank you

Upgrade the room. It will make more difference than replacing the whole system. Most sonic annoyances are created by the room, not the system. I have found the information available from Rives to be incredible. Check out http://www.rivesaudio.com and see what they have to offer.
Remember, a speaker will never reproduce what doesn't get there from the front end, therefore all things being equal speakers are the least important componant in your system. No speaker will have a good spectrum of sound, good imaging or soundstage in a bad room.

Mediocre speakers can sound good in a great room, but great speakers will only sound mediocre in a bad room. Treat the room and you will have a better stereo.
