Speakers or Amp

My current amp is a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 Integrated amp. My current speakers are Aerial 7ts. I have an opportunity to change one or the other. I can go from the Continuum S2 to the JR 625 mk2 with the Capri 2 preamp or from Aerial 7Ts to Raidho C3.1s. for about the same cost. I'm try to improve spacing between instruments and add a little more air. Looking for feedback from anyone familiar with the aforementioned components or general thoughts regarding the best option.

I would first think about improving the source components and maybe cables. Not familiar with your components, just read about them.

Open your windows and move your speakers further apart.

I'd experiment with the speakers and do audition before you buy. Hopefully you've kept some older speaker cables around so you can experiment more fully.

All the best,

A step to separates might help. However, judging from your photos I question your application for the GIK panels. It appears you have a total of 6 panels, 2 on each wall and two on the ceiling that are tightly spaced together. I suggest a looser spacing on the sides and remove one or both from the ceiling. Also try a different ceiling position somewhat over the speaker position. You might find the missing air/dimensionality. Good luck.

I bet the Verity Parsifal's would sound great with your Rowland. A pair of Encores on the used market are generally in the 6-7K range. My pair in Makore were gorgeous too.
