Amplifier tips

Hey community. It’s the first time I participate in audio discussions online so I will dive straight into it. I’m the owner of a pair of totem staffs with a rega mira amplifier. In a couple of weeks I’m getting an upgrade in the form of a pair of signature Ones. Does anybody knows if my amp can handle these speakers or maybe has some advise on other amplifiers that would pair well. My budget is around €2000.
I was looking at the technics su 700 or maybe something like the hegels. A big part of music would be played from my pc so a reasonable dac is maybe a must. Any input would be very welcome.
Thx in advance.

Good feedback here - listen first, My experience with the Totem Ones, which has been a while, was that notwithstanding their specs, they did seem to want more power than the numbers would suggest. They came alive with amps that could swing a bit of power, and I don’t have experience with the Rega to know what it can do. With lower power they sounded fine but when pushed they felt a bit compressed and flat, and the top end had a bit more hardness. 
I do remember they had great imaging and soundstage.
