Changing speakers and adding room treatments and room correction will make far greater improvements than changing amplifiers, unless you are literally running out of power with your current amplifier. In addition, because differences in speakers swamp differences in well designed amps operating within power, it is far better to find the speakers you like first, then build the rest of the system around them.
