Integrated upgrade recomendations

Hi all!  Newish to the hobby.  I've had a PS Sprout 100 and Wharfedale Denton 85 for about 2 years.  They sound great but I have the itch to upgrade. Any recommendations for an integrated amp for these speakers, or should I upgrade the speakers first?  Budget is $2000 or so

Belles Aria integrated.  Audio Connection, Johnny Rutan, New Jersey.  And you're done.

Creek, Music Fidelity, Burson, Rogue, or a Kinki (super nice Chinese amps that hit WAY above their price). 
 

but yeah, Belles is also killin’!

I like the Marantz PM8006;  I had a PM8005 for several years and was very happy with the overall performance.  Received almost full value as a trade in.
