Finally upgrading my amp

My budget is $2500.

My system currently consists of a pair of B&W 630's, an old Denon 50 watt reciever (DRA-550) from the mid 80's,  and a Marantz 5004 cd player.  And a technics 1500c Turntable.

Is integrated the way to go with my budget?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@jjbeason14 that receiver/speaker combination you have is really good.  i've heard a very similar combo and it was one of the best I've ever heard, beating out separates from parasound.  of course, this was a long time ago.  but still, glorious sound.

Thanks sdog!

I sort of feel the same way. Though I Would like to have a DAC and Streamer.

Anyone have good recommendations?

I would buy a dog if you don't mind walking him every night.

No need to buy one, @emergingsoul  , the shelters are full of good dogs (and cats) available for a small adoption fee.

At this price, maybe a used Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III. 
It’s tube but with a ton of power. Will pair nicely with B&Ws.
