Im thinking about upgrading my R50's to Monitor 50's or 60's

OR

Keep saving for a 5 channel AMP. What do you guys recommend would be the better upgrade? Thanks in advance. David

    To me, the amp. IMO the R and Monitor series are too similar to waste money on an upgrade.

    I was kinda leaning that way as well, but I just wasnt sure if the 60's would give me more mid bassthan what I already have.

    Thanks Zeros

    I have both the R50s and Monitor 50s ... when listening side by side on the same receiver a while back the differences were very minor. I found the monitor 50s to have a lot better highs overall. Id say go with the amp because the monitors as stated above are pretty similar.
