Rogue Audio Which Combo???

I really think you would be quite happy with any of the 3 options.

There is a Super Magnum upgrade on the Tempest which changes several items. Caps, diodes, binding posts, rca jacks, etc.

By going with either option 2 or 3, you would have a little easier capability of changing/swapping units later on down the road (could change preamp/amp instead of whole unit).

So, you are looking at 3 combos (maybe 4) that are really all pretty impressive. I see your what your dilemma is....

A couple of questions to think about-

- Do you mind the small added expense of cables for the amp/preamp combo connection?

- The amp/preamp combos you mention will all be at least $2000 more then the Cronus Mag option, so do you mind the extra $ ?

- You may have mentioned this in another post, but what speakers will you be using?

As much as I love the Cronus and Cronus Mag (sound great one of my most popular sellers), the new Rogue Hybrid amps are killer. I have a Medusa demo here and it's really an all around incredible amp.

Kind of a tough call since both sound very different....

The Metis Mag and Atlas Mag option would put you at essentially the same price point, and is really a good combo.

If you did not mind the extra cost, then I might step up a bit and go for the Metis Mag and new Hydra combo or the standard Perseus and Hydra.
