Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II or Pharaoh Integrated


I have a pair of Revel F206 speakers and am wanting to upgrade the power. I am sold on Rogue Audio, but I wanted to know which of these amps would be the best option. The Cronus Magnum II is rated at 100 WPC and the Pharaoh is rated at 185 WPC. I guess my main question is whether or not the Cronus Magnum II can really power these speakers, or would I need more power?

You should go demo at your Local Rogue Audio Dealer. We are in Hollywood Florida and love their products. Call Rogue they will let you know your closest dealer. If your not in Florida we couldn't help you but feel free to check out our website anyway, we have alot of demo and used products. www.hwdsound.com
Bbroyles23,
As far as the Cronus Magnum driving your Revel's, I suggest you call Mark at Rogue and ask his opinion regarding how the amp will perform. Tell him about the impedance curve;
on paper that's what says these speakers aren't a good match.

The Cronus Magnum is such a great sounding tube amp.
I can't answer your question, but I can certainly comment on the wonderful synergy between Rogue Audio and Revel. Please take a look at my system ..... my Revel F12's are driven by my Rogue Audio Cronus (non-Magnum) and the sound of music is sublime. Rogue and Revel make a beautiful pairing, and I recommend them wholeheartedly.
Pharaoh no doubt. It's a wonderful sounding piece maybe one of the best. I could downsize to one and be happy.

I like Cronus magnum as well but only for clear tube amp applications.
