Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations?
bdp24These are what I use with the ML Monolith esl's but there are a few new variation today. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnat-Plasma-MP-02-ion-tweeter-massless-air-plasma-speaker-Plasmahochtoner... https://www.lansche-audio.com/products/plasmatweeter/ Cheers George |
Less high frequency distortion = less brightness. Correct more air and transparency. This goes for the tweeters also. Have you ever heard a plasma tweeter? The least distortion of any HF driver, because the plasma flame is the diaphragm and it has no mass, the highs just dance in front of you in 3d space, like fireflies that you reach out and touch. next in line are ESL’s and then so-on down the line.

Both the Atlas Magnum with KT120 or the earlier review with EL34 had High frequency problems as far as bench tests went. Maybe your hearing this. " Though I must admit to some disappointment with the amplifier’s lack of high-frequency linearity, in this respect it is no worse than the original EL34-equipped Atlas" Read more at https://www.stereophile.com/content/rogue-audio-titan-atlas-magnum-power-amplifier-measurements#huw4... " I wonder why a touch more negative feedback was not used to make the high-frequency performance more linear" Read more at https://www.stereophile.com/content/rogue-audio-atlas-power-amplifier-measurements#riKwozYLl0XETCR8....
