Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 MK2

I use the amp with the clear Lexan  cover as I have two very curious cats. Roger claims the amp dissipates better with it but I don’t know about that. Seems like most of the heat is of course on top but also substantial heat going forward from the front as that’s where the tubes are. 

i don’t have my sub connected directly to it as I use the Rogers w/ the theater by pass input ( # 3) for movie watching. I connect my main speakers  only to it for movie watching when I want a truly big theater sound. My sub is connected directly to my Anthem receiver. For music listening I connect turntable / phono amp & DAC ( for streamer & transport) directly to the other inputs on the Rogers & no sub required. Best of both worlds & don’t use up the tube life more quickly than necessary. 

Thanks @sbank I’ll be sure to post my thoughts.. It’ll be delivered on Thursday.. It’s substantially heavy, like close to 60lbs.. I am excited..

@jonwolfpell  if the heat comes mostly from the top, I may not add the shelf above the amp.. Just leave it out in all its glory.. I’ll primarily be using it for two channel music listening.. You had mentioned tube life, so what mode prevents the tube being used as much? Is it just using it as a Preamp or something? Not that I’d be compromising the full listening experience. But just curious.. Movie setup is on a separate setup through Nakamichi and Pioneer Elite, and I have the pass filter turned down to a very low frequency on the SVS.. Trying to save my hearing..

I have the Rogers High Fidelity KWM-88 Integrated Amplifier. It’s very similar to yours. Get ready to welcome in excellent gear. They are a good example of getting what you pay for.

I have not cone across many other Rogers customers but the few I have are also delighted.

Try it with your power conditioner and also right into the wall. You mighe be surprised. I also auditioned power cords and found one I prefered.

I rigged up a pair of quite fans above to suck up and disapparate the heat. This isn’t necessary as the amps are designed and overbuilt like few are but because I always have used small cooling fans. I had Roger mod my amp to run KT-170’s.

What Magico’s do you use?

Feel free to call us with any questions.--Thanks Roger

@wsrrsw thanks for commenting.. The KWM-88 has a stunning look to it.. It's beautiful.. I have the A3's.. Also have a pair of Veracity STs that I had Salk build for me. I'll try them both.. I'll be sure to post my first impression and running it in my system.. You can checkout my system under my username.. I started with Parasound and then went through Mcintosh, but ended up replacing it all with Luxman gear. I had the Mcintosh MA352 for sometime, it was alright. So this would be my foray into tubes the second time..

@rgibboni thank you Roger!! I'll be sure to reach out with any questions.. I am so excited.. This would be the first time I am going to see it in person.. And it looks stunning in the pictures..
