Getting the Upgrade Bug Again

I just listened to some CJ gear this weekend. It was the ET3 SE pre-amp coupled with the Classic 60 SE amp. Not that I am unhappy with my current integrated amp, but clearly this is a step upwards.

I want to stay with tubes and would prefer to purchase new gear. So is there anything else I should listen to that is in the same price range of the CJ gear, which is $9,500.

Siox - yes, this thread has "morphed" into a speaker-related one. It certainly wasn't by design!

FWIW, I agree with Roscoeiii. You are doing things backwards. But the journey is half the fun, so enjoy the experience.

Just bought a Plinius Hautonga amp. The B&Ws will be happy.

I thought you said you sold the B&W's?

Hi Abrew19 - I did (foolishly) sell them. I auditioned over a dozen speakers last week and for some reason, I am hooked on the B&W sound. I just ordered a some 804 Diamonds. They will work better for me in my smaller room plus a bit easier to move around!
