Rogue Cronus vs. Onix sp3

I found the Onix SP3 dry. I much prefer the EL34 sound, it sounds gutsier?

I think the Onix was closer to SS sounding where the Rouge sounded more musical perhaps less sterile?

The Onix sounded wonderful with wooden instruments and with small groups of players, the Rouge sounded much more defined with complicated passages or with current rock music. I thought the bass on both units were excellent.

The price difference is extreme however.

The rouge averages 4 to 6 times the money on average for new vs. new.

the rogue is an incredibly refined unit. the el34 is the best of both worlds....smooth and dynamic.

I have a Cronus on the way, so I am looking forward to listening to it! If The sp3 is dry and the el-34 tubes are the way to go I can't wait until it gets here.
