System recommendations


Good afternoon.

I have an older system that I am thinking about making some changes to.  I feel I can get more out of the speakers than what I have currently.  Perhaps a different preamp, or maybe a new amp and preamp.  Here is my system: 

Aragon 8008 mk2/Amp
Aragon 28k mk2/Pre
Cary CDP1/Source
Dynaudio Excite 44/Speakers 

All cables are Wireworld Eclipse 8.  Interconnects are RCA not balanced as the pre is RCA only.

Power Cords are all Shunyata Venom VR10.  All plugged into a Shunyata PS8/Defender using a Shunyata Alpha HC 20amp to the wall.

I look forward to your responses.  

Thank you.

I agree with @stereo5 that the biggest improvement will be in your speakers which may be the weak spot. However, I also agree with @ghdprentice in the importance of the preamp. And this too is a weak spot. Which is the biggest bottleneck is hard to say.
You may be surprised at how much more  Rel subs can add to the speakers. They magnify not just the bass but the whole freq range This makes for much better imaging. So that may be your best option. But at some point you need to upgrade your preamp. Tubes should be considered
