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

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!
@pops Spending other peoples money for them is one of my favorite things to do! :) Even hypothetically lol.
@defiantboomerang first I deleted my post it was impolite at best, my apologies. I will say that statements like "your gear is garbage" are textbook examples of trolling. I sadly fell into the trap of feeding a troll.
