upgrade help

got a mix of equipment some bought, some given to me.
now trying to figure out how to upgrade my system. my
main concern is getting the best sound for 2 channel
stereo but i want to be able to use my system for ht
5.1 also.

sonus faber grand piano home (front)
Sonus faber concertino home(rear)
sonus faber solo home (center)
audiolab 8000s (i use as a amp for my ht setup and as an
integrated for two channel stereo)
marantz sr7500
rega planet cd player
MIT interconnects.

I'm thinking about upgrading my integrated amp to try
and get more power to drive my speakers but don't
really know how much that'll help or if that is my biggest weakness.

listen to mostly classical and jazz. looking to spend around 2000 and willing to buy used. as i'm a newbie
any advice would help.

thanks

1)I'm not concerned about the ht part of it but I have my center and rears powered by the marantz and fronts powered by my audiolab.

2)small room untreated. just a rental apartment with concrete walls and carpeted floor.

3)just have my speaker set up in a typical 5.1 set up

4)i'm looking for higher quality detailed sound for my 2ch listening.

5)main focus is definitely music. want to try the get the best musical sound from my speakers. wondering if a 1 or 2000 dollar upgrade will bring me significant increase in detail and musicality.

i know a lot of it is subjective, but thought I'd get your opinions.

thanks
