SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first?

Asking for advice, also first time posting.

if you had my system (see below) what would you do to improve the system? Add more watts per channel?  Purchase power cords? And so forth. The audio system is in the living room with vaulted ceilings 26 feet high at the peak.  Listen to classical music and soft rock and country and some jazz.  Use both CD’s and vinyl.

System includes McIntosh: amp MC 202, 200 watts per channel 

C42 preamp, includes DAC and 8 band equalizer 

CD player MCD301

Tuner MR 85

streaming MB20

turntable Pro-next Classic SB

Equalizer Sound Shaper 3 paragraphic

speakers Spendor A5

thank you for

any ideas from the group

Speakers speakers speakers x100! You have unlimited room for improvement with better speakers but you could buy $25000 worth of Mac or Krell and it’d sound a little better ,maybe. Second would be a dedicated phono stage followed by a good cartridge unless you have a good cartridge already 

@markley what are you missing? Obviously you can start with the speakers, but what are you expectations?

people are not paying attention

either to OP's budget (+/- a few hundo)

or his existing speakers, I looked them up

go to hifishark, check the prices asked for his Pioneer HPM-100 Speakers 

what the hell do you think would be better for a few hundro????

these speakers have Level Controls, giving the ability to adjust for both the space and OP's preference.

The receiver/tt/speakers certainly would reveal the improvement of a new cartridge, AND, the investment of a new cartridge can be moved to a new TT when ready.

Save money for quite a while before looking for better speakers

My suggestion is to start with cleaning up your power. Once you do that everything down stream will take on a life! However you will need more than a few hundred to do it right.
