Primaluna and Rogue

You have got to be joking for under $2k you get the Rogue Magnum that is 90wpc all American made Not Chinese and the transformers and parts quality is night and day better it is a tank!
this is a fact just go to Rogue audios web page and see
what the magnum has for parts , also there is a brand new
review of the Magnum on their review page . In fact I have heard both and the stock Atlas is better than the Prima luna, the Prima Luna advertises much more that is why you see them on the pages so much nothing more , I now own a Magnum .

Well, I made the deal and the Nola's are now in my possession. I don't have them hooked up yet; I only tested them to make sure they work. Now my amp search goes into a higher gear, and the more I read is the more I know I want a tube preamp, such as the Rogue Perseus, for example. However, I have read a ton of material where people are happy with the tube preamp/solid state power amp combo, so there is more for me to consider. I'd like to take my time and make the best decision for my system, but the Rogue monoblocks (M150 or M120) are still high on the list.

Audioman, thanks for you thoughts on the Stereo 90. I have considered that piece as well, but admittedly not with the same level of interest or enthusiasm as with the monoblocks.

Hawk28,

Between the M120 and M150, I would recommend that you go with the M150.

Interesting thoughts, Viridian. Personally, I'm not as familiar with Quicksilver as I am with the other two companies. And while this is not directed at you, I learned about Rogue through a dealer recommendation and audition. Primaluna, I admittedly learned about through advertising and reviews here on the 'Gon. That said, I'm open to suggestions of quality and affordable gear.
