I would get a nice pair of ATC active monitors, say SCM25A's for about $8kUSD from sweetwater sound. Get rid of the KEF's and forget getting another amp. Think about a preamp with the savings.

The MG share of The Beach Boys recording pretty much proves my point about needing recording notes (in that case, about the sound mixing board final cut). How can one interpret a reproduced recording absent that info?

Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
I saw one post in another thread where somebody claimed the need for a larger room to accommodate the expansive soundstage of reproduced sound from their audio system. Think about that that comment for a few minutes.

Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion
If someone wants to use a tricked-up stereo test disk or LP to demonstrate "where I am standing is to the right of, to the left of, in front of, behind of, under or above the right speaker," then have at it and be convinced that imaging exists.The...
