sorry, no ai info here, but i found the cary slp-98 to be more neutral, more dynamic, & w/better bass extension than a magnum-version of the rogue 99, in my system. (if you're interested in my systems' specifics, see it on audio asylum). but, for about the same $$$, a used melos music-director is in a completely different league, & puts both the cary & the rogue out to pasture, imo...
