I'd sure try some experimentation before you dump your amp. I recall listening to several top CD players a few years ago and all were 'nice' but all had their own character. Top or close to the top Wadia, Theta, ARC. My point is system synergy is the key! (And I read the 302s need lots of break-in.)
Then there's wire. And power conditioning. My WP7s sound good on my ARC VT100MKII conditioned by PS AUDIO PP600 (and are less impressive without the PP.) The PP seems to deepen and make the bass more prominent - a good thing.
I plan to try the 201s because I'm tired of schlepping the VT100 in for tubes.
I recently sold my Room Lenses and I miss them. Sometimes the subtle details add up for a nice surprise.
My source is a modded (3x) SCD-1. I think that was a good move and each mod has taken me a step closer to the goal.
My pre is a modded ARC LS5MKIII - a keeper, I think.
