What is the most difficult component to upgrade


I haven't had much difficulty determining an upgrade path
for the components of my system EXCEPT for my preamp.
I have heard many. I have heard differences. But not
anything that says "I am the one". For other components,
I do not have the same problem.

Wondering where others have encountered an impasse in their
upgrade strategy.

For me, it is the speakers. I've tried twice and kept my old ones that cost about 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of the ones I tried to demo at home as an upgrade.
I think it is a case of, I've done such a good job integrating and tuning/tweeking my system, that a speaker change throws it all out of wack.
Based solely on price point my speakers should be the weak link, but they have no weaknesses that could have been revealed by the better electronics.
