Primaluna and Rogue

Hey all, I've done a lot of reading on the Rogue Audio and Primaluna gear. I Like what I've read, and I actually heard the m150's a while back and came away impressed. I have not personally listened to any Primaluna gear.

Do any of you have thoughts either way? I'm looking at Prologue 6 & 7, vs. Rouges m120 and M150. A lot will have to do with what becomes available on Audiogon, but I am prepared to purchase Prologue 6 new if necessary. Thanks

Thanks for the responses guys

Tpsonic, do you prefer the Kt-88 for their midrange? Also, how do you find the 7's ability to handle marginally efficient speakers. I have my eye on some old Alons which usually require a good amount of power.

Sogood51, has the heat from the 120's been a problem? do you use a fan or any other cooling method.

No, the heat factor doesn't bother me....just thought I would warn you. I'm told that the Rogue 150's run fairly cool.

My Rogue 120 Magnums replaced a Krell Ksa-250 in my system, and they both give off about the same amount of heat driving my pair of Apogee Duetta Signature speakers.

That said, heat is an amp killer...SS or tubes. The Rogue amps sound best with KT-88's also....I use EH KT-88's in mine.

The Rogues have about twice the power of the PL's.Kinda like comparing apples to oranges.Just a thought.

TPreaves, I know about the power difference, but the difference in sound quality, if any, is what interests me.

Viridian, I will take a look at Quicksilver. Is there a particular model that you like?

Thanks for the info, Sogood, I will keep that in mind. But if there is no real performance issues, I will keep the m120's on my short list.
