Rogue Cronus an upgrade over the PrimaLuna PL1?

Have the PrimaLuna Prologue One as my first go with a tube amp. Like most everything about the Prologue One but always looking to try something new and move forward on the upgrade path.

Would the Rogue Cronus be a move up? Specs seem to indicate it would be.

Speakers are Spendor SP7/1, majority of listening is from my iMac via USB, to a V-Link then optical to PS Audio DLIII and on to integrated input.

Hi:

Like Newbee I would first recommend rolling the power tubes. I currently use the new Tungsol 6L6GC and like them alot.

Grinnel and Stevecham - Thanks for the CJ recommendations. Want to stay with an integrated, is the CAV50 a move in the right direction?

Nebee and Michaelo - I may try different power tubes, the 6L6GC if compatible. I strongly prefer the SED 6550 over the stock EL34.

OR a Jadis Orchestra, which isn't that easy to find either... but a wonderful int amp that will make you happy. Tonally exactly what you are looking for I think.
