Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next


I have a Rogue Audio Cronus Mag integrated driving Vandersteen 2ce sig II
Very happy with the setup but looking to do better  My budget is around $7000
preferably new but used might be Okay
Let me know what your thoughts are

If you like the sound you have now but want to make it even better, most likely it is a much better amp and source that you want. But I would probably start with tube rolling and trying other cables. Rogue is a value brand, it is not high end.
I daresay if spent wisely you could upgrade your amp AND your speakers for $7K. Perhaps something like this:

And since you like Vandersteen you could do this:

Though I personally also like the looks of these:

And these which as an Audio Note owner I can highly recommend:

That was a fun exercise that took just a few minutes poking around the site, obviously just a few things I like our tastes may differ. My best advice would be take your time, do research, listen if you can, and try to buy once and buy right.  Good luck!
Neither. Put all of it into power and power cables, as a first step. It will transform your system, and once you make the investment, it is there for any component changes in the future.

Your room looks like it's multi-use...and since it is a partial pic, I'm not sure what you've done with the room. That would be the other area to invest in.
Nothing will give you a bigger difference than changing the speakers.  You get the most bang for your buck that way,  Replacing an amp will make a very small difference compared to changing speakers.  I would explore that aspect. I had Vandersteen for over 20 years and that was before they had all these different models.  If you like their house sound, go a notch or 2 up the food chain.
