System pairing

I currently have a very mid-fi at best system IMO. I was looking to do a new set up in the spring time and summer after I save up the funds to do so.

I'm just looking for suggestions on the compoents if people feel this would work, or something else I should try in a compoents place.

Turn table-VPI classic with dynavector 20 x cartridge.

BAT VK-31

Cary 306 professional CDP

Pass Labs X250 or X350

cables would be MIT shotgun series.

speakers I will be using Carver Amazing Silvers

Thanks for the suggestion with Maggies. I've heard a few pairs of Maggies and really enjoyed their sound so I will have to look into that model!

and ah room treatments, everything in a set up matters is what I believe, so room treatments will be a must.

Do you guys think though that a pairing of BAT and Pass will mesh well? I've only heard one set up to this day with that pairing but didn't have a lot of time with it to give it a true critical listen.

I'd re-think the Pass/BAT combo. Two different animals IMO. Sure the will play together, but they both are going in a different direction scenically. What about a phono stage?

You should re-think choice of cables.

Srwooten, do you think the system would be better off with a Pass Labs pre rather than the BAT?

And if not MIT cables (which I'm a huge fan of btw) what would you suggest?
