The Rogue Magnum series is excellent no matter which one. The Tempest gets you there without having to spend more money on 88+66. Used ones get snapped up really quickly however if the price is decent. Even the standard Rogues may give you all you need. I was quite impressed with Rogue when I auditioned them. Only thing I didn't like was the cooling fan (on the 88 - don't remember if tempest has it but probably). It was silent but my job is thermal management of electronics and I feel they could do better in that regard. Heck, we don't mind seeing the tubes, do we?? Oh well... Arthur
Tube gear under $2k?
Ok, when I bought my speakers, I auditioned them with various gear, but my favorite was the Manley Stingray. The problem is that I plan on also running my tv through my 2 channel system, so I really want a remote! At this price, I figure I need to go used to get a remote. Anyway, I'd like my system to be fast & detailed, with tight, quick bass and with some slam. I listen to jazz, metal, trip-hop, classic rock, folk, electronic... pretty much everything. I know I have a lot of demands and little money (relatively) to spend on them, but what can I do? Anyway, I need suggestions/opinions! HELP!!! Thanks in advance!
