Is this a sideways move?

Hi everyone

I have an Aesthetix Mimas integrated that I enjoy, and my source is a Holo Spring 3 KTE DAC/preamp. Maybe I have upgraditus, but I'm thinking of using the Holo Spring as my preamp, and selling the Mimas for a good power amp. I'm thinking Coda S5.5, Coda No. 8, Aesthetix Atlas, Pass Labs XA30.8, Pass Labs X150.8, Modwright KWA150se. My budget is up to $10,000. I am driving Harbeth 30.2 XD speakers in a 15' x 15' room. Am I upgrading or is this just a sideways move? Are there others I need to consider?

 

Thank you in advance!

Great idea. But you don't need to spend more than $2400 for an extreme game changer, the LSA Voyager GaN 350. You owe it to yourself to get one before you spend 2-3Xs the money for an amp that is not in the same league: SERIOUSLY. Do a search and you will read some amazing reports
