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,

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
As I always like to say - if you don't like the sound of your speakers, you won't like the sound of anything else in your system.
Well said Learsfool, something like; garbage in, garbage out. Also agree that amp and speakers need to match. Good speakers can sound poor with the wrong amp.
