amp or preamp..what should i keep?

thanks for your response, what im looking for is a little warmer sound,more presence and a better soundstage.

im looking for a sound a little more laid back but with a nice quick and fast bass along with crisp clean upper freqs. but would like the vocals to stand out a little more than they are right now. right now they seem to take a back seat to everything else.

I did some speaker moving tonight and althou it did help for instance i brought the speakers about three feet out from the wall and it seemed to unmuddle the sound so to speak. After more adjustmants it did get better but I think I am probably not going to get much flatter. I am using some nordost flatline interconnects and have tried my kimbers but I think the nordost sound a little better on my setup also running audio art speaker cables. One question is this, My speakers are bi wireable and not sure if this is hurting my sound but I am running a three foot pair of audioquest cables to tie the post together. My next purchase is for a pair of jumpers but for now this will have to do.
