Should speakers be upgraded before preamp and amplifiers?


On a two year plan to upgrade my system. Wanting opinions on what to do first, looking to spend $10-15k, listening room 14x 30 x 8. Currently have Von Schweikert VR-2 speakers Sansui 9090db receiver Pioneer PL-a35 turntable. Would like to try a system with tube preamp. Thanks

If you’re simply asking which next component to change, then it’s the amp.

BUT, it sounds like you want to change both speakers and amps soon, so I suggest demoing speakers maybe 3-10k range, then get matching electronics.

We addressed speakers and amps, but after they’re sorted out, your turntable might be a sonic bottleneck. So agree with @dekay that an upgrading to a reasonably priced phono stage a great idea.
