Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se

What size is your room? Salon 2s are power hogs and neither of the amps you're asking about would drive mine effectively in my room of approx. 5,600 s.f., for example.

As Chrissain says, these speakers need high current to shine and to control all that woofer area. I'd be looking at SS amps that provide smooth, well-mannered sound and are capable of pumping at least 300 wpc into 8 ohms - like Pass x350.5, Clayton 300, Mark Levinson 532H, Edge NL Signature or 12.1, etc. (and of course I'm happy to plug the Plinius SB-301 I use with mine as well).

You have a world-class speaker but it is big and hungry...

As Chrissain suggests, Salon 2s are power hogs. I wouldn't use anything less than 300 wpc into 8 ohms to drive them in any room larger than say 2500 s.f.

There are plenty of SS amps that can provide the sonic qualities you're looking for and may be better suited for these speakers than tube amps.

Bat is a much better amplifier than Rogue.

that said, I would only use SS for Revels.

Sorry about the double post!

If you are sticking to solid state, an older Classe ca 301, or cam 350 monos would sound great, and you can get them for not a lot of dough, good luck
