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

If you want the best, look at a PASS integrated.  Used or new, PASS are the best amplifiers on the market.  Reno HiFi has home demos for free.  Give them a call.

Hey everyone just an update. I went to a local store here in NYC and listened to a few amps including the Rogue Sphinx v3. I went with the Sphinx it sounded awesome!

Haha, Class D hybrid wins the day! YAY! 🤩

You’re getting bad advice. Always choose speakers first, then find the amp to drive them. Always.
