Rogue Cronus Magnum new with KT120's

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has the newer Rogue Cronus Magnum that ships with the KT120's or has anyone upgraded their older Magnum to 120's? I was speaking with Nick at Rogue (great guy) and he said they'll send me a new cover with the larger knockouts and a matched quad of KT120's for $320. Will I notice anything besides increased power to 120 watts? Will this upgrade tighten up bass or anything? Speakers are Harbeth C7ES3. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I seacrhed the threads and couldn't find anything on this upgrade.

You may want to verify that there is an increase in power. I tried them in my M180s and there isn't an increase in power, they just aren't run as hard. Compared to my Gold Lion KT88s there may have been slightly more bass but lost was the transparency and holographic sound of the Gold Lions. The KT120s did not sound special at all. If Gold Lion comes out with some KT120s I'll try them again.

I didn't ask them that question but I will. There's a dealer that claims 120 watts over 90 so I just assumed that was the case.

I believe that the KT120s do not give any additional power to most Rogue designs. But I did prefer them to my EH KT88s in my Stereo 90.

I believe the original Cronus was rated at 80 or 90 watts and the 120's took it to 100 watts
