Cary SLI-80 and B&W CM7's


Before I drag my speakers in to hear this combination, does anyone have an opinion? The speakers are 88db. I'm new to tubes.

That Rogue Cronus looks very nice. Did they stop making that? I noticed the Tempest on their web site, but did not see the Cronus.

Thanks for the information. I really need a break from SS. I'm just trying to overcome a stint with Rotel. My ears feel like someone implanted aluminum foil in them.
I did end up finding the Rogue Cronus on their web site. I read a great review about i. How does it sound with the CM7's?
If I was that up on that stuff, maybe my question would have been "what's the impedence curve on the Cronus look like?" And that's also not true. Bench tests don;t tell everything. If they did, nobody would own a tube amp.
Thanks Bob and Superwolf. Bob, that information helped me out and I appreciate you taking the time to post it for me. I've been at my wits end lately, knowing that I messed up bad with the system I purchased this year. Hopefully I can get on track. I'm going to have to keep the CM7's for a couple of years and focus on an amp.
Thanks Bob. I e-mailed B&W in the U.S. to see if they can get me the graph. I wonder if my new Rotel RB1582 would sound good with a tube pre-amp? I currently have it for sale on Audiogon because the Rotel amp and pre-amp sound so bright and can't listen for more than about ten minutes. Its obviously both the speakers and the amp and pre that are all kind of bright.
