Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???

Agreed. Your speakers are not that "inefficient". The Primaluna will start to saturate and fall down around 15-25 watts (depending on tube choice and mode). If you want to turn it up and "rock out' to loud and/or bass heavy music, be aware that you'll want something that will push 40-80 watts CLEAN.

I totally get your impression of "McIntosh" because it's the same as mine. It's nice, but too laid back for me. They did sound very excellent with Sonus Faber speakers, but I would definitely want something more. Listening to McIntosh amp with McIntosh speakers, it was so boring I was like "snooze".

Oh, somebody earlier recommended PSVANE tubes.  I will also second that recommendation if you want to upgrade your preamp tubes if you get a Primaluna (or similar).  I just helped a friend upgrade his JJ 12au7 tubes to PSVANE.  The JJ were okay, but the PSVANE just had so much more resolution and detail -- and they really "sang".  Overall, excellent upgrade!!  This was the second time I have heard PSVANE "preamp tubes".  I suspect the PSVANE amp tubes will have similar results.  They are definitely expensive, but not as expensive as other boutique or NOS tubes.

I have listened to all three Rogue integrateds at length. Why can't you respect another individuals opinion? I don't own a fully tubed integrated because I don't want one for my own personal reasons. I have listened to many tubed amps over 50 years. More than you know.

Mr._Mom,

You said I "undermined" your opinion as though I’m not entitled to my own, as though I should’ve consulted you first. So who is the one not respecting opinions? I had made no personal reference to you or your opinion in my original post. In contrast, you responded to my post with a snarky comment insinuating that my opinion is bunk based on the claims of Rogue employees.

I don’t know about you, but I live in a country that has freedom of speech. Further, I’m fairly certain you’re not in charge of this forum, nor do I work for you. To say someone "undermined" your opinion shows you have a seriously demented view or your role here.

Anyway, you haven’t heard jack or you’d know the Pharaoh doesn’t sound anything like a decent tube amp and it’s not remotely in the same ball park.

Helomech.
Please grow up. I do not have the time or inclination to get into a petty argument with you. End of discussion, over and out.....
