Speaker swap or Amp,which impacts more????

2bigears:

Whatever your decision in the speakers vs amp question, definitely invest time in room setup and power fed to your system. In my case I didn't realize the real potential of the gear I owned 'til I started accoustics and pówer treatments. On the plus side all these will benefit practically any gear you change down the road in the quest for better sound journey. Good luck!

Changing speakers and adding room treatments and room correction will make far greater improvements than changing amplifiers, unless you are literally running out of power with your current amplifier. In addition, because differences in speakers swamp differences in well designed amps operating within power, it is far better to find the speakers you like first, then build the rest of the system around them.

I have a different opinion,here.---Some speakers sound similar; some amps sound similar. So I guess it depends on which speakers / which amps. Better quality throughout, be that amps / speakers / or preamps / cabling/ ---they all contribute ---Not to mention synergy with each;within the chain. Some speakers are more forgiving; some just aren't. Making the right change is difficult---knowing what that change might be can be problematic. Everybody's opinions my not match your ears or tastes.
