my approach has generally been to upgrade the amp first. most people don't agree, but if you read stuff that the musical fidelity guy wrote about his amps, you can get an idea of what's required to reproduce dynamic range.

good speakers help as well, but imo good speakers with a weak amp is not a good combination, whereas basic speakers on the end of a good amp is fine.

is there a pre amp out on the Minx?

I might have disagreed with you until recently, I changed the amp on a pair of LB1's and they transformed. It's surprising how much the amp controls bass response. All the same upgrading is a process and if you're not going to do it all at once is there really a best way to get to the next level.

Bass improvement was definitely the case when we added an Adcom GFA-535 to our NAD receiver.
