Weakest link?


I have assembled a two channel set up and am ready to take the next step. Currently I am driving Kef LS50’s with a McCormack DNA 2-Deluxe-w/gold upgrade and a Schitt Freya Preamp. My source is mostly digital files through Auralic bridge with an Auralic DAC. I have rolled tubes and experimented with p/c’s and connects to a satisfying end, but am just not getting the goosebumps that we all crave. I realize the Freya is probably out- classed by my amp,( which  I love)’but is that my next upgrade? Or should I be looking for a more sophisticated speaker? I prefer something on the warmer side/ hence the tube preamp- I listen mostly to acoustic music, jazz, occasionally like to rock out. Considering Dehavilland pre or going “Spatial Audio’s” M3 or M4 Turbo S. Thanks, any advise, insights appreciated.

I just replaced a pair of stand mounted monitors with Heresy III and am loving them.  Sound is big and bold and closest to live I've ever had in my room.   I have had a number of fine standmounted speakers and a sub and the addage there's no replacement for displacement is true.   Little speakers just can't throw a big image like the Klipsch can.
