Need upgrade, sell the B&W 602 and get a tube amp?

I have a HT with B&W 602s in front and 300s in rear (6.1) with a Dennon 2802. I don't like the sound. I am considering adding some clean power and changing the speakers if needed. Would like to spend a net of less than $2k. I apreciate your help

Wondering at what point it makes more sence to go with separates. I have heard that the 4802 (and similar) are not cost effective.

Went with a Sunfire TGII and Sherbourn 5/1500. Quite a difference. We don't need to run it as loud to get the details. Very nice

Dont ever think of B&W again !!!! Yes OPERA speakers are great. I recomend you OPERA!!! But with tubes work great and you need good cables too. Like Yamamura

Suggest you investigate the AH! LS Noise Killer. This is a $50 filter you connect to the tweeter terminals of your loudspeakers. It effects a slight roll off of the highs, which can work well with a metal dome tweeter. I have B&W DM602S2 and found the AH! Noise Killer to work nicely with them. Suggest you read the reviews over at audioreview.com and see what you think.
