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

What do you want from your system? What is missing right now? You have new speakers and vintage electronics. Do you want to stay with vintage?

Room sounding ok? Otherwise this is where you get the biggest difference.

You seem to be a vinyl person. Depending on cartridge, I would consider a dedicated phono-stage and see where that gets you. Maybe also vinyl cleaning equipment (vacuum and/or ultrasonic). my 2c.
