| Canton or Sonus Faber I've listened to the 890DC speakers a lot, mostly being driven by Rogue M150's. They are a fast, warmish speaker and I like them a lot. Actually, I've heard quite a few members of the Vento family, both current and one generation older, and I like... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Hawk28,Between the M120 and M150, I would recommend that you go with the M150. | |
| Which 6sn7 tubes for Rogue Magnum 99 The NOS Sylvania GTA and GTB tubes that I had in my system were indeed smooth and detailed as Samzx12 described and are absolutely a great tube. I think the sibilance part is going to be system (and preference) dependent. In my system, it was too ... | |
| Which 6sn7 tubes for Rogue Magnum 99 Musky1963:As you look at the front of the 99Magnum preamp, the two tube sockets on the right are the amplification tubes. They are the most important for having low microphonic tubes. They are also the two that will have the most effect on the sou... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Hawk,I have the 99 Magnum preamp and if it is within your budget, I would recommend it over the Cronus preamp.Also, my local shop has a pair of used Ayre monoblocks. I forget the model number, but I know they are 200 watts per channel. They sound ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy: Your friend is lucky to have your help.Volleyguy and Iris65: I'm curious, what components do you have in your system? I have Rogue 99Magnum preamp and M180 monoblocks. I'm running NOS RCA tubes that I got from Andy.My VSFs arrived the o... | |
| Upgrade from Silverline 11 As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have a pair of 17s and 17.5s in my listening room. For a 10'x15' room I think either would be fine, but the 17s are going to run out of steam before the 17.5s. It just depends on how loud you play your music. T... | |
| Upgrade from Silverline 11 As I mentioned in my previous note, I own a pair of 17.5s. I I also have a pair of 17s that I am holding for a friend until he can pick them up. The 17s have less bass and run out of steam before the 17.5s, but for my tastes, I prefer either of th... | |
| Upgrade from Silverline 11 I agree with Samac that the TSMs are very good speakers. I had a pair of Merlin TSM-SE speakers, and they were nice. It is my understanding that they were not a stock pair but had been tweaked for a review. I've heard the MXe version too.However, ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Irish,Thanks for your note. For my SR17.5 speakers I did get the CAST resistor. I received shipping notification on Thursday, so maybe by next weekend I'll be getting my first impression of the new crossover.As for the Bolero, I don't know the val... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Hawk,You are welcome. My speakers are Silverline SR17.5. I replaced the stock crossover capacitor with Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil. I replaced the stock resistor with a Mundorf Supreme. However, within about a week (I've already received shipping noti... | |
| NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II Samzx12:I went back and reread your post. And before I add more to this thread, I just want to say that I agree with our Red Wings fan from Detroit: the choice of tubes is very personal.I was going to follow-up my first post with another saying th... | |
| NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II I have a Rogue 99Magnum preamp and M180 monoblocks. Here's briefly my experience, and if someone wants me to expound further, please let me know.Preamp: Looking at the front of the preamp, the two sockets on the right are the amplification pair, t... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Hawk28:I have not heard the Primaluna so cannot contrast the Rogue with them. Between the Rogue M120s and M150s, definitely go with the M150s. I have the Rogue M180's. If you go with the M150's someday you should consider the upgrade to M180. The ... |
