upgrading my integrated amp

I'm looking to replace my Rega Mira 2000 and make a jump up at the same time. My current system is the Mira amp a Rega Apollo and Totem Sttaf speakers using PNF interconnects and biwire speaker cable. My room is approx. 12' wide, 16' long, 8' high. This would be the first step in some other planned upgrades ie. a dac and upgraded cables.

Amps that have caught my interest

Rogue Audio Cronos or Metis/Atlas Magnum combo
Unison Research Primo or Secondo
Rega Elicit
Blue Circle GDC or DAR

I'd appreciate any comments or thoughts from owners or people who have had experience with any of the mentioned

Viridian my budget is 2000 to 3000 and I could stretch that to 3500.

Dave I've never heard that combo personally but my research is telling me NAD and Totem aren't really an ideal match for each other.

Rogue Audio is really sparking my interest.

Thanks Don,but I'm a frost bitten Canadian boy though. Actually considering making an offer on a used Tempest. I'm alittle confused though the ad states it to be a, Rogue Tempest 3 (Super Magnum) Integrated Amplifier:, yet I haven't seen that upgrade or model designation on Rogue web site.

Don do you own Rogue gear?

Right now I got to admit to leaning towards Rogue Audio but have not dismissed the Elicit just yet. I do like the Rega house sound, its just that tubes have fascinated me for sometime now.
I must admit at one point I was considering an all Rega kit, Elicit, Saturn, RS5's and a turntable.

thanks for your input Akg.

Im on the other side of the country. Im curious what your system is with the Cronos , and any tips or suggestions.

Ive asked for serial numbers from the unit Im considering. Hoping that Rogue could provide me with some info on the unit.Are they the kind of company to respond to such requests?
