IMHO, speakers diverge from neutrality more than any other component. That said, this divergance is generally in frequency response, clarity, and distortions that are consonant (harmonically related) with the input signal.
Electronic components, while having lower levels of distortion, have distortions that are "electronic" sounding, and this is usually much more problematic than the distortions of loudspeakers, so I think that you are barking up the right tree.........kind of. Better speakers are just going to let you hear the distortions of your electronics that much more clearly. A bad thing.
Again, I really don't see putting Pirellis on a Yugo and would question the logic of teaming up either of the existing components with a very high end piece. You are just not going to get the bang for the buck, unless you will buy, say the 252 and be able to buy the 2200 in a few months, and then it won't matter; buy whatever you can get the best deal on now.
If you like the Mac sound and reputation for reliability as well as the domestic connection, why not buy one of the excellent Mac integrateds, now? Be done with it, the cost is not going to be that different to get a 6300 or 6500 and the whole electronics issue is dealt with and you can begin saving for that, much needed, loudspeaker upgrade. Just my 2 cents.
