Primaluna and Rogue

Getting back to the original post...I think that you should heed the above advise and actually listen to each , on your speakers .

For my take - I think that Rogue and Primaluna are different sounding pieces . One is not 'better' than the other , just different .

You might be better served by describing what type of sound that you are looking to approximate ? Or ask other owners of your speakers what amps that they like and why .

Good luck .

Ok , if you do not have a particular type of sound in mind then you should address what amps work well with your speakers . In this instance , some will be better than others .

What amp does the manufacturer use to design their speakers ? And again , what do other owners of your speaker have success with ?

I would also recommend that you start with an integrated amp . They are cheaper and easier to move in and out .

I seem to remember one review for the Viper II , the manufacturer stating that he liked the ASL Hurricane . I am not sure how reliable they are but it could be a starting place . Or if you like the Rogue then try their integrated .

Start some place and then make moves from there . Just watch out for that merry-go-round ride !

Good luck .

Another reason for my suggesting an integrated is to avoid a preamp/amp mismatch .
I can't speak to all of your choices but in regards to the Primaluna pieces , they have an unusually high impedance requirement .
This can be a problem when you start mixing companies components . Some will play nice with each other and some will not .
This can be a reason why a user of a particular piece will denegrate it but many others will hold that piece in high regard .

Something else to consider .
