What should I choose??


I have the old B&W 802d's.  I also have the older, first generation, Bryston 14bsst amp (now 15 years old). Both of them are performing well and are in mint shape.  My question is this:  I am interested in the new Bryston 14cubed amp...and I am also interested in the new B&W 802D'3.  But I can't afford to do both.  Should I focus on getting the amp first or the speakers?  Please, I don't need to be told to buy amps or speakers other then the ones I am asking about as I am a big fan of my system.  I just know that B&W has reworked their D series and that Bryston has done the same with their amps.  thanks, Jim

Kenjit,
Why would he spend money on non perfect speakers? Hes being duped !!! 
Lots of variables such as tastes, room amplification etc. All of the B&W measurements I have seen are absolutely not a neutral frequency response. Obviously they voiced this way on purpose. I'm not saying it's wrong. 
What preamp are you using with the Bryston? Another thing to consider would be a nice tube preamp for your front end. This would definitely give you a nice change in flavor.
