I have the Hafler 110/220 pair in my collection. I paid $300 from a local seller - a bargain! Erno Borbley was the designer. I give the sound quality a high rating. This pair is certainly capable of "high end" sound! Status-seekers can look elsewh... 
Upgrading
Remove sighted bias and all wire sounds identical. Have someone help you do a blind listening test. You will be surprised by the results!  
50 vintage speakers that give odds to modern acoustic systems

How long should speaker cables be?
Long enough to reach your speakers!   
Considering a new amp for my Vandersteen Quatro CT
Spending thousands on another amp is a waste of money. The Bryston is an excellent and reliable amp. You will only be fooling yourself to think that a newer amp will somehow sound better and more "musical".   
If you demo or change one component do you change your setup? A Bright Shinning Lie.
That was Roy Gregory of HiFi+. I would not reposition speakers when changing amps.
