Speakers or Amplifier

Thinking about another upgrade and looking for opinions on if I should upgrade my speakers or amplifier. My current system: Aerial 7T speakers, Jeff Rowland M525, Bricasti M1 DAC connected straight into the M525, and all WireWorld Silver inter-connect, power, and speaker cables. My room is 20' x 26' and treated with GIK acoustics. I listen to contemporary Jazz. My budget is 10K.

What is your goal? What do you hope to accomplish by changing equipment?

I recently added the Bricasti M1 DAC. The M1 improved bass output, dynamics, and soundstaging. I still believe I can improve the bass output, but would like opinions on the most feasible way forward. In general I don't like subs. In addition, I don't have a preamp.

You have a large room and a relatively inefficient loudspeakers. Your power amp is a good choice for addressing the issue, but it can only go so far. Before replacing any components I would suggest trying different loudspeaker/listener positions to better couple the loudspeakers to the room. Start with all the acoustic panels removed.
