Integrated or speakers

I am sure this has been asked before . But with new equipment and technology I thought I would ask again. I am looking at rebuilding my system. I am totally satisfied with my source components and cables.

I will be using monitor type speaker for here to eternity. Space and room size, I have about $1000.00 to upgrade at this point, should I go speakers 1st and integrated 2nd or the other way around.

I like a slightly more warm side to tame some of my recordings.

Thanks,

Speaker first. I made the mistake by upgrading my integrated before the speakers. Although at the time I had no intention of upgrading my speakers I was quite happy. Once I found THE speaker for me it turned out that my integrated wasn't bad but not as good other integrateds. Eventually I did upgrade the integrated.
That's what I experienced.

Speakers ! I just love my new and improved BOSE 901 series 6 version 2's. These speakers sound like my friends QUAD ESL 2905's BUT you can play the 901's louder and the 901's have a better bottom end too! I have my 901's only 12 inches off the floor and they sound DAMN GOOD this way !

I'm using Yaffa Blocks for speaker stands under my 901 speakers. I use one of these 12 inch blocks under each speaker. http://www.yaffainc.com/products/yaffablocks.html
