Hi all.
My current setup for TV and music is an NVIDIA shield connected via HDMI to the TV then via optical to the Fosi Q4 DAC and Fosi BT20A pro that connects to a pair of old and trusty B&W DM302 speakers.
I'd like to take the next step in improving my setup, but I'm mindful of the law of diminishing returns (to get the last 10% gains, you need to spend exponentially more, where it no longer makes sense, to me)
So, what can I do to jump to the next step of accuracy in a way I can hear, without spending unnecessarily for top of the line gear?
I managed to get frequency charts for the DM302s if that matters

Thanks in advance
PS: I have a Jamo sub with a blown power supply that I could repair and reuse somehow if needed, I also have a B&W CC3 centre channel, but I don't think I can do much with it without an AVR and that might not be worth the expense, since I'm not much into full surround sound.

B&W DM302 loudspeaker Measurements
Sidebar 4: Measurements The DM302's specified sensitivity, 91dB/W/m, is high for a small speaker, but indeed I measured a B-weighted figure of 90.1dB/W/m—this mini will play quite loud with only a few amplifier watts. However, its impedance plot (fig.1) reveals that it drops below 4 ohms for...
Thanks in advance
