BIG difference in power outputs!!!
I've had a few c-j pre- and poweramps and my experience is exactly opposite Bkonig's. Each sound fine. Had QS V4s; altho initially I was quite happy with them driving very inefficient Eminent Tech. 8s, I returned to my ASL 805s. Maybe it was the V4s' 'pentodeness' or ultraNONlinearness, whatever that is.
I now have new ASL Hurricanes that I run in triode for c. 120 Watts. They sound VERY good driving the 8s. I think the 'Canes' reliability problems are long behind them; mine are assembled quite well and look as if they'll last a long time. They have some protection circuitry including a rail-voltage fuse.
Never had or heard a Rogue.
If you need more than 100 Watts, I recommend the 'Canes. If 60 watts (or c. 30 in triode) will do, the MV60 should sound great.
