What to upgrade next?

I am happy with my system as it is, but I am, as I'm sure most of us are, looking for better and better sound. I'm not sure what my best next upgrade would be. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I do not have an unlimited budget, but I am not completely handicaped finacialy either. My system as it stands is as follows.

Linn Ikemi CDP
Conrad Johnson Premier 14 PREAMP
Conrad Johnson Premier 11A AMP
ProAc Responce 2.5 SPEAKERS
Kimber Silver Streak INTERCONECTS
Kimber 8TC Speaker Cables Double run for Biwire

Thank you

The biggest improvement in your system will come from upgrading your speakers. The cables may add some sound changes but better speakers will open up a new world of sound. Not that I think yours are bad, but look up the line and you will get better bass, mids and high end which to me is the biggest improvement one can obtain.

Happy Listening.

Yes the room treatments and set up are also key, sorry I left that out (stupid me)but in the end the speakers will limit the system sound to whatever they are capable of. The system sould change significantly with Vandy 5As versus all the treatments that I know of. Depth in my system became more real when I used a speaker that was capable of adding lower bass and extened highs. Treatments are a key system concern too.

Happy Listening.
