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?

Folks,

It's been while, but I finally hooked up the new Pass Labs INT 250 about a month ago.  Shazaam!  I'm hearing music I never thought possible through my speakers.  The deepest defined bass I've ever heard.  Chris Squire never sounded so good.  The drum sounds as if the speakers are downward ported but they are rear ported.  Great definition. It sounds as if Billy Cobham's kit is center stage.The unit isn't even broken in yet, so I am expecting more surprises.  I think my next move is to treat the room with acoustic panels and sound diffusers.  I am so excited.  Thanks for all your expertise and enthusiasm.

Hey guys,

You all have been great. I poked around some and received a great deal on the Pass Labs INT 250.  I'm really looking forward to setting it up.  However, it's a beast...maybe 100+ lbs.  I suppose I need a seperate amp stand to properly set this up.  Are there any recommendations out there.  I'm seeing prices ranging from $400 to $4,000.  I hope I can get a good quality stand closer to the bottom end of the range?
