Hope this is ok for the B&W thread. I need the experience of people who have (or had) B&W 803s speakers.
I'm considering B&W 803's or 804's (or Aerial 7b's). I currently have all Rotel electronics (120wpc x5 amp, 1068 pre/pro, et al). What I want to know is: if I can upgrade only ONE component, which one will improve the sound (for 2ch music) most? I'm constrained by budget and am trying to decide where to best spend my money. Around $5k is the limit.
Will a Rotel 200wpc amp make a significant difference? What about a Classe or Krell 100wpc amp (x3 channels... need to run the matching center too)?
And what if I left the amp as is, but upgraded the pre-pro to a Krell Showcase or Classe SSP-300 instead?
All of your insight and experience is appreciated!
