rogue cronus integrated or red wine audio 30.2?


I am looking at these two amps right now but havent heard them. I currently have a cec tl51xr player and cec amp5300 class a ss integrated with audio physic step monitors(current model).
I am looking to get a warmer, lusher sound with an increase in soundstage size. I am looking to get feedback from those who have heard both of these amps.
thanks

definitely my speakers are very sensitive to setup. right now I have my system set up in our family/living room. when we casually listen the speakers have to be in between an armoire about 2 ft out from the wall.
for critical listening sessions I pull the steps out about 5 ft from the wall with them about 6 ft apart from each other and the listening chair 6 ft away.
I notice if I space the speakers about 8-9 ft apart then the sound becomes more spacious but the impactfulness(if that is a word) is lessened.
the near field thing sounds tight and full but a bit cramped in. these are the limitations of my room unforutately.

have you heard the cronus in relation to the cec?
thanks for the responses jaybo, it hard to find folks who are familiar with the stuff I have for some reason.
I was considering getting into some good tube gear and then going with some high efficiency speakers. I have heard the zucable druids or presence are pretty great but havent heard them.
Mark at rogue told me he heard that combo and it was a good match.
sometimes I feel like this hobby/obsession is just splitting hairs anyways:)
