i wouldnt use ebay for your electronics, but i would use it for a system rack! Soundstyle tends to go for a song on there. Audition your electronics prior to buying though.

is there anything you don't like about the sound of your current set-up? what type of sound are you after? what size room/speaker position? floorstanders or standmounts? a bit more info might help for suggestions.

i'm fairly confident you would be happy with a 2nd hand kandy L.lll amp, i used to have the same cdp and amp as you and the kandy is a huge step up, which could be had from e-bay for about £350.

i wouldn't buy speakers from ebay unless you have already heard and liked them first, the speakers really need to be demoed in your own room for you to be sure. there are some decent speakers available new for your budget, so maybe the local dealer will let you have them with the promise of your money back if you don't like them.
