Rogers High Fidelity Integrated amplifiers


I see used models listed for sale at a'gon and other audio sites quite often. However, whenever someone asks for opinions in the forums, the usual suspects are Primaluna, Rogue Audio, Raven Audio, Line Magnetic, Quicksilver, etc., but I hardly see anyone recommending Rogers. I wonder why that is. From what I understand, they're made in the US (I know, doesn't necessarily imply better quality) and the prices are quite reasonable.

The other thing I noticed was that unlike Primaluna or some other brands that get snapped up quickly, the Rogers amps tend to stay listed much longer.

What gives?

I had a PrimaLuna HP Integrated (using 88’s and upgraded pre tubes) and replaced it with a KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier. I loved the PL until the KWM-88 Integrated Amp blew the PL away. My speakers aren’t too efficient and I wanted more to drive them. More I got! Additionally I had to turn my sub way way down as suddenly the bass came shockingly alive.

A few HiFi pals also give it praise, even Bob.

At low volumes there’s a fullness that’s a fantastic. The dynamics were noticeably improved. 

You can try before you buy. I bought a "used" one from Roger.

He knows his stuff.
one would hope the rogers kwm88 is somewhat better than the primaluna, as it is 2-3x the price...
Generally you do get what you pay for in audio. The PrimaLuna (for me) punched above it’s class. Perhaps someday they will make a more powerful Amp or integrated.

IMO the Rogers High Fidelity integrated that’s built so well delivers like I was using separates. It’s a 60 LB beast. I have had a lot of equipment but Rogers HighFi, after two years, isn’t going anywhere.

Also it’s a great looking integrated. 
I’ve seen but not heard Rogers  amps and they look very nice for the price.
I'm still surprised at the lack of chatter around this brand. It is made in the USA, seems to be good quality and prices are comparable to Raven Audio. Maybe Rogers should plant shills on this site pitching their products a' la Raven and Tekton ad infinitum. Just kidding!
