What would you buy

I am a tube lover. I currently have a Rogue Chronus Magnum and Vandys 2 sig E. I'm thinking upgrading my system. I believe I can get 1K for the Rogue and add 5K for a total of 6K available to spend. planning to keep the Vandys but I feel that my taste desires a little more bass than what I'm getting now. Vandys are great in the mids , voices etc but it lacks some deep bass. The Rogue doesn't have an output for a sub woofer. Musical taste is classic rock, jazz and blues. Here is the question with 6K to spend in amp/pre, integrated or mono/amp, what would you buy?

I heard good things about Prima luna. As a matter of fact, I made my decision to buy the Rogue over the PL bc the Rogue gave me more watts90 vs the PL 30. Im a little concern that tube amps dont put a lot of WPC vs SS amps. Maybe there is a better way to evaluate tube amps.

Millercarbon suggested the Raven. but just 30WPC!

friend of mine is recommending the Mc Gary SA 1 tube amp at 30 wpc.  Some reviews say the put a lot more power and can drive a lot of speakers. but 30 is still 30.....

jaymark you made a statement I have heard before. tube WPC are under rated and compared to ss amps is apples vs oranges. It seems that the only way is to listen to them.
