Have you considered one of the Pass models or Parasound. I ran 1.7i with a Parasound HINT with fantastic results, have since moved up to the 3.7i with a Pass set up again fantastic sound. You can stretch your dollar by buying used.
Replace Rogue Cronus 3 with Rogue Pharoah 2 or HiFi Rose rs520 or suggestions
I have a small music room and have been using the Rogue Cronus 3 integrated.
i think the Rogue to me sounds more solid state than my 300b tube amp by a long ways. Maybe I just don’t like the sound with the .7 speakers.
it gets my room a little warm here in Oklahoma with 90 and 100 degree weather.
i also have a Hegel h190 that I have been using. I think the Hegel h190 sounds better than the Cronus with the Magnepan .7 speakers I am using right now.
i think I just want something new.
i have a local dealer that has the Rogue and HiFi Rose line and been thinking about trading the Cronus for a Rogue Pharoah or a HiFi Rose integrated with streaming capabilities. Read some great reviews about the Pharoah with Magnepan .7 speakers. Should I keep the Rogue or trade for one of these or something else. I am not sure about the class d amp qualities yet. Any advice would be appreciated.
