Wow...so far it’s a 3 way dead heat in the poll.

This feels to me like a ‘no brainer’.
Get the C-1100!!!

I too would look at power first. If you don’t have a dedicated circuit I would start there and a Furutech GTX D NCF receptacle with a good power cable feeding the P15/20 if you don’t already have one to mate with your Furutech Flux, then onto grounding solution options from Nordost, Entreq, Synergistic. This is you lowest cost option that will improve what you have, then probably decide on your preamp and mechanical isolation.

My vote is the P15. Get clean steady power for your system.

My thoughts; The C2500 is a great preamp and it sounds like there aren't any real pressing issues with your power. So why not go the monoblock route? Perhaps bypass those 611's and go for the 1.2s or the 1.25s which will be an upgrade and not so much a sideways move

Thanks to all for the replies and votes. Ivan did it again. He made me an offer I just couldn’t re-fuse on a PS Audio P15.
Reading as many reviews as I could last night until I fell asleep regarding the P15 indicates I made a good choice. Some reviews indicate that as good as the upgrade was from a PPP to a P10, the upgrade from the P10 to a P15 is even better. I can only imagine what it will sound like going from a PPP to a P15. Thanks again to all especially Ivan.

Thanks Lars.....I will eventually get the new preamp and monoblocks. Just hope it's sooner than later.
