Upgrade to sound quality of Dynaudio Heritage speakers

Folks,

My current system consists of Ideon EOS DAC/Streamer (I haven't pulled the trigger on their Time re-clocking unit yet), Dynaudio Heritage Special stand speakers, two REL S 510 subs driven with a PASS Labs INT 25.  I'm thinking I can get more out of the Heritages if I upgrade the amp and was looking for some input for a piece of nice gear in the $10K-$12K range that would upgrade the overall sound of my system.  I like to listen to rock/jazz, etc.  My listening room is 15' x 27'. Any thoughts or suggestions?

The Benchmark AHB2 would manhandle the dyns. Only question is would you like the combination. Much less expensive ($3500) than a lot of other amps. Hell, you could get two and run them as monos.

E.g.

I’ve had the AHB2 for the past few weeks, and absolutely love it! Paired it with Hyperion HPS-738s and Dynaudio EX34s. Dead quiet, wonderful bass control.

I’ve installed some Neutrik NL2FX connectors on my speaker cables and not sure how much of a difference it makes in comparison to the regular binding posts, but I sure love having the option. It’s a solid connection for sure.

So much impact & clarity for such a small amp. Thinking about picking up another one in the near future to run as monos.
