Is it time to upgrade


I'm currently running a Sanders ESL MKII amp, McIntosh C47 preamp, Martin Logan ESLx speakers, a Cambridge Soundworks transport, and an Apple MacBook with Roon.  Everything sounds great, but I have the bug to upgrade.  Looking to get more detail and a bit more low end. 

I'm looking for suggestions to consider.  I've been considering either a McIntosh MC275 amp or a McIntosh C2600 preamp.  Haven't thought about different speakers, but I'm open.  Looking for 1 piece to upgrade that would make the most difference.


Thanks!

The Diderot Effect.. Upgrade just one thing, then everything else seems not good enough... Then you upgrade re. Go into debt...Then you spend all day reading posts here and commenting on them while deciding what is the next best upgrade...
(My life history this past year!!! I was ’just’ going to upgrade maybe my speakers. from Magnepan 3.6 to 3.7i... Hah. after spending a big pile of money I am still wanting to spend..... Danger Will Robinson Danger!)
But wow my system is amazing.. and way way way better than it was a year ago.
I am not in need of intervention... yet. But if I apply for a second credit card..(resisiting...)... Maybe. I do seem to be settling down.
