Thank you grannyring.
I think you are spot on as far as the sound goes. The setup with the DIs is not warm or wet tubey sounding .even with the Rogue St-100
It sounds real .It is not a "romantic" sounding setup. I have had cables and gear that lends to that , but the other thing is that ,with the 60s Telefunken 12AX7 tubes that i put in the St-100 , , everything is "clearly" there and laid bare ,so to speak..They are very revealing especially in the top to upper mids.
I think that with different equipment you could get a warmer , tubey sound.The Rogue ST-100 is not warm and tubey sounding .
It has just enough tube character to be smooth. never harsh and slightly sweet , but only slightly, and not at all syrupy sweet though..The rogue has the Dyanmics and punch of a solid state amp.
I think the speakers would sound sweeter and more romantic if they were feed that kind of gear. As a matter of fact I think they tend to reveal what your gear is .. good or bad .
I personally love the the St-100 because of its traits and the Double Impacts reveal that nicely IMO.
Thanks again Bill
