Rogue Audio Which Combo???

Rogue Dealer Disclaimer****

So, you are looking at 3 combos (maybe 4) that are really all pretty impressive. I see your what your dilemma is....

A couple of questions to think about-

- Do you mind the small added expense of cables for the amp/preamp combo connection?

- The amp/preamp combos you mention will all be at least $2000 more then the Cronus Mag option, so do you mind the extra $ ?

- You may have mentioned this in another post, but what speakers will you be using?

As much as I love the Cronus and Cronus Mag (sound great one of my most popular sellers), the new Rogue Hybrid amps are killer. I have a Medusa demo here and it's really an all around incredible amp.

The speakers are Soliloquy 5.3 which are both tube and SS friendly and fairly efficient at a rating of 89db. They are a 2.5 way tower design with the woofer and the midrange being fed from the same set of posts.

Goldprintaudio- I see that you are also a Bel Canto dealer. If you were comparing against a Bel Canto Ref150s\Dac 2.5 combo, what would you pair up minimally or choose in the Rogue line to be in your opinion its equal? How about clearly better? (Emphasis on minimally!) Thanks for your help.

Kind of a tough call since both sound very different....

The Metis Mag and Atlas Mag option would put you at essentially the same price point, and is really a good combo.

If you did not mind the extra cost, then I might step up a bit and go for the Metis Mag and new Hydra combo or the standard Perseus and Hydra.
