Upgrading integrated...Vinnie Rossi Lio, Primaluna Dialogue, Used Moon?

Hi Everyone,

Noodling a new integrated.  Currently I have Monitor Audio Gold 200s, a Primaluna Prologue Premium, Rega Planar 3 w/ Ortofon Blue, and Bluesound streamer/DAC.  I'm not an "audiophile" and while I appreciate all the lingo, enjoy-ability and musicality are high on the list, along with reliability. 

Also, a pair of LS50s might get some airtime on this system, and eventually tempted to get a high end pair of bookshelves, like KEF Reference 1, Salk Veracity HT-1, or something Sonus Faber. 

Lastly, I listen to a wide range of music, including hip-hop, rock, classical, and jazz.  The room is also somewhat glassy :/.

Thanks and cheers!

Yamaha A-S2100. It will pair very well these speakers and power all of them with ease. Solid state bass and dynamics with tube-like bloom.

I don't believe Rotel has similar genealogy to Yamaha. I've heard some Rotel amps, (can't remember the exact model) and they didn't sound like Yamahas. The Yammies have a somewhat unique way of being very clear and dynamic without being clinical or fatiguing. 

I'd personally stay away from Ribbon and AMT tweeters with a "glassy" room. Might be best to stick with tubes considering your other gear is somewhat forward and bright IMO.
