Rogue 88 problems

Scottht,
What differences did you note with the M120 vs the 88 ?
I am considering upgrading to the M120s. Thanks Len

Everything !! First of all, I am using a pair of Proac Studio 250 speakers. They aren't the most efficient in the world. 89db I believe. The M120's have gobs of power compared to the 88. Every note seems presented effortlessly as compared to the 88. The 88 ( after looking back at the sound as compared to the 120's) seemed strained and maybe a little congested compared to the 120's. I felt happy with the 88 for a little while. Maybey 7 or 8 months. But then I grew tired of the presentation. I am not the most electricaly technical person here so I can't explain the theory of operation but, there are 4 KT88 output tubes per channel as opposed to 2 with the 88. That has to count for something right? Not only that but, the 120's are great heat source for a cold room :-)
I felt that I couldn't go wrong. I traded my Magnum 88 and $900 for the pair of 120's and I haven't been happier.

Th 120 have double the power of the 88. 120 Watts vs 60 Watts I belive. Did you listen in Ultralinear or Triode. Triode on the 88 is 30 Watts, I used them on a pair of 92dB speakers with great succes, then got 120 and Know the 150.
Last amp I will need.

I run in triode. I prefer it over ultralinear

Thanks for the feedback folks. I am looking for more "presence" in the low mids, more bass slam and for a bit more separation. In your opinions will the 120s do this compared to the 88 ? I have Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rods with the 99 pre amp, CAL 10 CD player, DH labs Q-10 cables. Thanks
