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.

Thuhaile - Thanks for the Unison suggestion. I have a Unison Unico hybrid (for sale on AG soon), that got me started on the tube path.

Dhcod - Thanks for the suggestion. Any personal comparison of the Jadis to the Prologue 1 or CAV50?

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..........

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.

The CAV50 doesn't seem to be easily available but I will be looking for one!

More or less have reached the same conclusion regarding the Cronus. Following recent communication with Jim McShane, I have Genalec KT77 Quads on the way.
