Promitheus Ref TVC and RWA Sig 30.2 Power Amp

Hi All,
The itch to upgrade is getting stronger day-by-day and I think I should start by asking this wonderful community, certain questions that I have no idea about.
I do not plan to upgrade everything at once - as budgets do not permit. I currently have the NAD C352 integrated and want to start with the Promitheus Reference TVC preamp. I will use my NAD as a power amp for now. When budgets permit, I plan to get the Red Wine Audio Sig 30.2 Power Amp. This is based purely on the reviews from many people online and also 6moons and other online sites. I am not sure if this amp will be good enough to drive my Quad 21L.

The questions are:
Will the Promitheus and RWA work fine with my Quad 21L speakers?
What should be my expectations after I replace the current preamp section in the NAD with Promitheus Ref TVC? Will the sound step-up be huge or slight?
Is this the right approach, or should I just upgrade to a better integrated amp (like Primare, Creek, Musical Fidelity, etc)?

Thanks much.

Buy used RWA integrated.
If you need more gain - TVC or CIA passive will do.

Go with integrated first.
If you need more gain (volume) buy "Goldenjack" attenuators ($50 direct). If you need more inputs get TVC.....it is great for the money(read on).
I see that you posted this question all over the place.....that is all good but the wise thing to do would be to start small. Meaning - RWA integrated. If needed.......
Add attenuators later. That should easely drive your speakers.
If you are thinking about passive TVC, I would dump the idea of the RWA integrated and go with RWA amp. There is a difference in sensetivity between the two. RWA Sig.30.2 amp is 100K which is more suitable to work with seperate preamp.
Just my 2c.
