Listen, all I can say is I've owned and paired both. I have a Rogue Cronus Magnum II, and before I upgraded to Sonus faber Sonettos, I paired the Rogue with Sonus faber Venere 2.5. The sound is incredible, and that's not only my opinion, but audiophile friends that have listened to my set up as well. One of those has over $90,000.00 invested in his system. There are used 2.5's available for less than $2,000.00 and you can't go wrong. Again, I've owned and paired both so I know first hand - not a guess! Happy listening.
Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp.
I need your suggestions for full range floorstanding or other that can be driven by my rogue magnum 90 easily. I have no dealer close-by to listen to any. I am using a baetis streamer with a Rogue rp-5 pre and the magnum 90. My room is 13' x 16'. I listen to male and female jazz singers. Some classic rock. My budget is 1,000-2,000 bucks. I have even considered DIY.
thanks

Agree with the SF recommendation, also Thiel CS 2.3s or 2.4 might work nicely for you. Hard to drive but my 2.3s sound great with BAT VK55 (55 wpc, tube) and based on Herb's review and other Thiel users, I have to think the Rogue is more than up to the task. SF more smooth, Thiel more detailed to my ear. I had the Maggies and liked high watt ss for these over the BAT tube amp, seemed more muscular and dynamic. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649768834-theil-cs-23-speakers/ Re Thiel, lots of testimonials on the user group chat. |
If you don't mind the "Spaceballs" looks, Gallo 3.5s would be a good fit at ~$2K used. Maggie 1.7s Totems are nice, but the bigger-woofered Forest probably over your price range. The smaller ones are great for their size, but they won't meet your expectation on the bottom end. Proac older Response series are really great if you can find them. Cheers, Spencer |
Hi , I currently do not have a high powered tube amp . But I still have speakers from when I did . JBL 4312A’s on 26” Sound Anchor 3 leg stands . It was definitely Old School fun . For a suggestion how about Crites Cornscalla’s ? They come in kit form or assembled. Not a refined speaker , but if you like the Klipsch sound . |
