I have no experience with the Cronus and Maggies. But the Cronus responds dramatically to changing the preamp tubes to mid priced NOS tubes. Much more tube like, bigger soundstage and separation. Will never replicate the sound of 300B amp
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.
