Tough call, but since B&K amps are decent, I would recommend a nice modern tube preamp to pair with your ST-1400 to start. With the thinking that down the road, it too should pass............

Suggestions...amp or preamp?
Hi all, I have been debating whether to upgrade my amp or preamp. Right now I have a BK ST1400 amp and a Rotel RC-970BX with my DIY speakers. The speakers are comprised of Dayton audio drivers and are rated at 100w/ch at 8 ohms with efficiency of 88db. My sound pretty good but I know I can improve in some aspects, more so in the bass department. I would like to stick with solid state but is not limited to. My budget is around $1200 for an amp and my be a preamp. What are your suggestions? I listen mostly rock and country. Thanks
