Integrated or speakers


I am sure this has been asked before . But with new equipment and technology I thought I would ask again. I am looking at rebuilding my system. I am totally satisfied with my source components and cables.

I will be using monitor type speaker for here to eternity. Space and room size, I have about $1000.00 to upgrade at this point, should I go speakers 1st and integrated 2nd or the other way around.

I like a slightly more warm side to tame some of my recordings.

Thanks,

Well said Learsfool, something like; garbage in, garbage out. Also agree that amp and speakers need to match. Good speakers can sound poor with the wrong amp.
I do agree with the suggestion for getting a woman, however, for the system, am I correct that the Yamaha Integrated has spring clips for speaker connections? If so, replace it first. Are the A-25's original with new tweeters?
Musicrover, I have a pair of original A-25's in a secondary system, and thought about upgrades for them. Can you give me some direction on this?
