Primaluna and Rogue

Hey all, I've done a lot of reading on the Rogue Audio and Primaluna gear. I Like what I've read, and I actually heard the m150's a while back and came away impressed. I have not personally listened to any Primaluna gear.

Do any of you have thoughts either way? I'm looking at Prologue 6 & 7, vs. Rouges m120 and M150. A lot will have to do with what becomes available on Audiogon, but I am prepared to purchase Prologue 6 new if necessary. Thanks

Well the higher power Rogue amps are a bad match for your speakers (which are fairly bright sounding on their own).

Just as the Primaluna would not be a good match for my Apogee speakers.

The amp must fill the need of the user.

The Rogue 120's run pretty hot (at least my 120 Magnums do)....I'd probably go with the 150's, if you should decide to go with Rogue.

No, the heat factor doesn't bother me....just thought I would warn you. I'm told that the Rogue 150's run fairly cool.

My Rogue 120 Magnums replaced a Krell Ksa-250 in my system, and they both give off about the same amount of heat driving my pair of Apogee Duetta Signature speakers.

That said, heat is an amp killer...SS or tubes. The Rogue amps sound best with KT-88's also....I use EH KT-88's in mine.

I'll be very surprised if you don't find the Cronus Magnum to be a big step up in every area of music playback from the NAD....even the bass reproduction.
