"Step 2 is an ampifier capable of driving the speakers properly."
If not I will consider the Vinyl / CD route.
But vinyl is a two edge sword, not only does it sound better (IMHO) but it also deadens the room if you have a shelf full of the stuff
The room is similar size to mine except I have carpet down.
In a room that size I would have thought either of those amplifers had enough watts to drive any speaker unless you like PA sound levels. (I rarely listen above 85db)
