Life beyond Jolida?


I have owned a 302b for a little over a year now and, having tube swapped out to achieve "as good as it gets" results with this stock unit, I am considering where to look next to improve detail, dynamic range and imaging. My qualifications for an upgraded tube integrated amp are:
- made in the USA
- all tube integrated design (Rogue, cj, Cary etc)
- minimum 40 WPC (driving Vandersteen 2Ce Sigs)

My local dealer is arranging for me to home audition a Rogue Cronus in the near future. I have listened to the now discontinued cj CAV50 and liked what I heard, but not through my own speakers/home.

What upgrade paths have other Jolida (or other entry level tube)owners taken in their journey up tube alley? What are your suggestions for high quality tube integrated amps?

Cheers and Happy New Year

There is no life beyond Jolida. It is the end of it all, there is only one thing after Jolida - eternal darkness, gnashing of teeth, and sorrowful moans of regret.
No but I just received a Rogue Cronus and am in the second hour of bliss with it, and it hasn't even been broken in yet. Full review to follow...

Wow!
