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.

What I'm looking for is a warmer, darker, moodier sound than currently have with the Prologue One. Tube set-up is: 4 x SED 6550C, 2x Mullard 12AU7 CV4003 and 2 x Mullard 12 AX7 CV4004.

Music preference towards john Coltrane, Stan Getz, Bill Charlap, Diana Krall, Eva Cassidy, Roberta Gambarini, Melody Gardot..........

I strongly second the CJ recommendation!

I too went from an entry level Jolida through the Cronus to CJ phase and, if I had known what I now know, I would have skipped the Cronus and gone straight to CJ. Take it from experience and save yourself time and money.
