How much is better sound worth to you? Honestly, if you had a buyer, I'd upgrade speakers to something like Tannoy, B&W, Martin Logan, etc....

As I stated before, I have an all-in-one audio receiver rather than separates, because cost was a concern (it always is) and my speakers all purchased in the past 3-4 months weren't cheap, but speakers will hold their value fairly well, and Audio-Receivers are constantly getting better and cheaper, so I will pick up mono-tube amps when they hit a reasonable (to me) price where I feel I'm getting the value out of them relative to the price.
