I can't upgrade both at the same time because of the price so I'm asking you which one should go first?

It seems to me that the speakers should make the bigger difference because it's where the sound comes from. But I didn't go to demo rooms a lot and I don't know which makes bigger difference. A good speaker with a entry level amp or a good amp with an entry level speaker.
Without a doubt buy the speakers.

Rotel is a good name in amps, even their entry level amp is OK for now.

Your speakers are nice, but bookshelf sized. A pair of floor standers will go deeper, and most likely be more efficient, so you'll have even more SPL with the same amp.

Spend some time listening to a range of speakers. Get to know what you want before you plunk down your cash.
