Time to upgrade my Amp

This is what I have now Rogue Audio Cronus Mag integrated amp and Vandersteen Quatros Wood
had the Rogue with Vandersteen 2 Rogue put high pass filters in so Could play the Quatros I love the holographic sound stage of tube and the amazing mid range but it's time to now upgrade  
so my first choice is Quicksilver Audio V4 amps and preamp second choice not all tubes but some it's the     Aesthetix Mimas integrated both around the same price 

So please let me know your thoughts on my choices or what you would choice

With Quattro powered bass you don’t need 350 tube watts, you want magic midrange and amazing HF extension. There are any number of tube amps that pair well with Vandersteen and some hybrid as well. Typical pairings include Aesthetix, ARC, VTL,, Quicksilver, Rogue, Brinkmann. The Mimas is superb for sure! The Vandersteen high pass amps start at $15k but your local Vandy dealer will more than likely carry one of the tube amps mentioned above. Let me know how I can help, I have two pair of Vandersteen’s 
enjoy the music!!!!
