price wise, the comparison is more devore 9 or harbeth super- HL5.
mike lavorgna wrote a review for 6moons about the base cronus and the devore 8 combination. other than that, i have never seen the combo discussed. but on the harbeth forums, there seem to be a number of members using rogue and harbeth.
you should definitely do whatever you can to audition before dropping $6000+ on a pair of speakers, even if it means driving a few hours of arranging a day trip via plane. or attend RMAF or whatever hifi show is nearest to you. all you'll get on a forum is other people's opinions.
btw, i recently got the cronus magnum and love it. i'm using vandersteen 2ce sig IIs but plan to get a pair of harbeths down the road.
