Re: Upgrade to Audio Note System

I would upgrade the speakers first.
The difference between the ANJ/Lx and Spe is quite large.

The Spe (or higher level) will present details in the music of which the Lx is incapable, and yet be amazingly smooth.
The higher level speaker may allow you to better appreciate your existing amplifier. It will also allow you to hear the benefits of upgrading to a higher level amplifier.

In general, I think the strategy should be when moving up a level, to upgrade the speakers first.

You should consider the ANE/Spe in your budget. It would be a huge stepup from your ANJ's. A double whammy - more capable speaker to start, and more refined according to the level.
However, you should try to audition the ANE's before buying, just because they are a different speaker, and may not be your preference. I've heard that some people prefer the ANJ because of their room size or other circumstance.
