Thinking about selling my Vincent 737

Hello! I'm still sort of a noob when it comes to the audiophile stuff, so be gentle!

So, ive had my Vincent sv737 for a couple years now, and make no mistake, i love the thing-- albeit without a lot of a/b reference points. But i think i might be ready to try something new. I love the soundstage and 3d depth of tube sound, but also like tight bass and detail. My question is: if i sold this guy, what would be my best bet? I have a gustard x26pro dac, a zen ifi streamer, and some klipsch rf8000 f speakers.

Was thinking a tube pre amp and a separate solid state power amp or mono blocks?

*Having the dac and streamer is a part of why im considering the sell. Im not using the built-in ones in the 737. Maybe i can get more bang for my buck?

 

Thanks!

Yeah, i plan to upgrade my speakers soon. But my thought was currently that i dont utilize the wifi or the dac built into the vincent as they are superfluous. So maybe i could sell it and get something better without the bells and whistles i dont need.

That makes sense to me! I prefer everything separate.

I agree with Russ above. Your integrated is fairly powerful and really well reviewed. I would look at speakers 1st then look at a new amp later if you still feel the need to do so.

I am also in the camp to keep the Vincent. They are great integrated amplifiers, I have owned one. You already have an external DAC. You have already spent less on the Vincent internal DAC than you would lose selling it for another amplifier.  There are many speaker upgrades that your amp would support.

Most amps quoted are no better than the Vincent, many are far inferior. I have the pre power version and it will last you a few upgrades yet. My experience is it does not match well with any high efficiency speakers I have tried (that's a lot) certainly not with Klipsch. This amp will drive far better speakers.
