Tweak1 and Gajmusic make some excellent points. Before replacing equipment you should be sure that you've optimized what you already have.
While alot of people like the YBA Passion, you should note that in the recent Stereophile review one unit failed and its replacement suffered from blown fuses. The unit that failed died when the reviewer accidently shorted the speaker cables. The blown fuses resulted from driving the amplifier into clipping.
