Thanks to those who have responded already with different opinions to consider.
As for desired changes or improvements, I am hoping for improved soundstage depth at least. I recently added one Furutech NCF Clear Line unit to my system, and that has improved the apparent separation of instruments and voices in the soundstage.
I have been fortunate to acquire much of my system at reduced prices, and I have tried to prioritize value, which is a reason that I chose the Parasound HINT amp. If improving on its performance will cost far more than its price, I would rather save for a more costly upgrade than to spend money on incremental changes.
For a speaker upgrade, I have looked at Spendor 7.2 but read that its midrange is not on par with more traditional Spendor designs. I really like the Harbeth Compact 7’s but realize that I could buy better speakers. I would rather not buy speakers that have a significantly larger footprint. I listen to jazz and rock for the most part, and I am not a basshead.
