Revel F208s upgrade from Silverline Sonatina IIIs?

I have Silverline Sonatina IIIs and am looking to upgrade for $5K or less. Hoping to get some thoughts on whether Revel Performa F208s would be considered a major or minor improvement.

System is Classe DAC-1 balaned into Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 DSD into Cary SLP98 F1 direct coupled, all upgrades, Pope tubes. Manley Snapper monos using 6CA7 tubes and Audience Au24se cables.

Thank you.

Ricred1,
Thank you for your post. I was concerned that the Snappers (100WPC Tube) may not be enough, but found a review that drove the F208s with 60WPC Tube.

Hello Bbybaudio,
I have an off topic question for you. I also own a Cary SLP98P F1 with built in Lundahl transformers for MC output. I use the Phono out exclusively. My question is, are the expensive Pope 6SN7gt's worth the price compared to the stock tubes? Thanks,

Audiophile,
Sorry I never got back to you. I bought the Pope's when they were only $150 each, and at that price, yes, definitely worth it.
