@ChasnotRobert - I spoke with Richer Sounds and Apples and Oranges and they both said that the speakers should be upgraded before the Minx, purely because the Minx is a capable little device and the speakers, whilst not entry level, are not even mid end by any means. They said I can easily get more out of the amp before upgrading.

Don't suppose you're interested in a set of Spendors? I've a set (model S3e) that against my better judgment I'm thinking of changing.

I am pretty sure everyone would suggest you upgrade the speakers first (except ChasnotRobert, obvs)
-
I would recommend you freeze your cables and get a Shun Mook resonance disc or two. Other upgrades are pointless.

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?
