everything sounded great until the upgrade

In short: I loved the sound of my modest system, until I upgraded my amp. Now it  sounds pretty horrible. It went from a warm sweet embracing easy-to-listen sound to knives and forks trying to escape from a bathtub.

So...

1. I can just unplug this new amp (used) and sell it

Any other options? I could upgrade my speakers but I have no budget for that.

2. I could sell the speakers and use money to buy used ones that go with the amp. 

3. Lastly I could change the source, but was it the culprit - to begin with?

btw - the sound of the "new" amp is decent with my turntable, and terrible with my CD player.

(If I wrote brands and models it would throw the discussion into "A sucks, B is great")

Just do class A with some Tannoys and get off merry go round.

 

Good advice but you know what we audiophiles are like.

Only sheer exhaustion after many futile years of trying in vain can finally convince us.

I’ve not upgraded my speakers for over 10 years but not for want of trying.

Damn, those Tannoys are hard to beat!
