Rogue M-120 and M-150


Hi, I am considering buying the Rogue M-120 or M-150 monoblocks and have read a lot of great reviews about both. Since one of the key factors in sound quality is the interaction with the speakers' crossover, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on speakers that have impressed you with the Rogue's amps. By the way I currently have a pair of Von Schweikert VR-4, (which I have enjoyed for several years), but I am also considering a possible upgrade to the Vandersteen Quatro maybe at a later date.
Thanks a lot!!! Alessandro

One of our members owned the Rogue Zeus, Rogue 150's, and Rogue 120 Magnums...he stated in a post that the 120's were the best sounding of the bunch. He sold the Zues and 150's, and went back to the 120's. (you can do a search for that info)

I have 120 Magnums driving Apogee Duetta Signatures, or Apogee Stage...both sound wonderful with the Rogues.

That said, I would probably get the 150's for several reasons.

1. The 120's run very warm
2. The 120's are hard on tubes
3. The 150's don't run as warm
4. The 150's aren't hard on tubes

I honestly doubt, that there is much difference in sound quality, between the two (150's/120 Magnums)...I suspect the 150's are the more reliable design though....given the factors I mentioned above.

Good luck,

Dave
I found Rogue service to be well above the norm, they even sent be a schematic for my 120's when I requested one for local "non-Rogue" repair service.

I had no idea what they would say when I called them, but I didn't want to ship two amps, all the way to Rogue for a simple repair...probably $150 shipping cost.

My local tech guy told me that when he had a couple of questions regarding the repair, Rogues tech guy was more than friendly...and answered all his questions.
