Amplifier upgrade or speaker upgrade

Hey all - so, the choice is between sending my LSA Signature off to get upgraded to the top-of-the-line Statement series OR ordering and installing the beryllium tweeters for my Reference 3A de Capo's. I can't do both now.

Which do you think would give the best sonic boost?

Thank you for any insight you may be able to give.

Unsound - why the speakers first?

If in the end you'll do both, I suggest upgrading the speakers first.

I'm leaning towards sending off the LSA to Brian Wolford for the Statement upgrade. It seems an awesome bang for the buck - unlike much of my Vegas experience...

Yes, amp. Most speakers have significant upside potential when fed with good upstream components.

+1 upgrade your amp, your speakers will perform better.

IMHO, the maxim sh#t in, sh#t out holds true. Your speakers will reflect only what is fed to them. So, if the upgrade to your power amp will be significant, then I would upgrade the amp. Just my $0.02. Good luck.
