Both amps are heavy. The Rogue is a space heater. Great when I lived in MN, not for my recent move to NC (hence I sold it). Both bring loads of mustard. The Vince is ss but mellowed by the pre tubes. Again: you'll be happy w/either. Personal choice in the design, visuals, etc.
Vincent sv-237 or Rogue Cronus Magnum II
I'm in the market for a new integrated amp. My speakers are Dynaudio X-32s and I'm currently using a Jolida JD302CRC to drive them. The Jolida is 50w per channel, and I wonder if I'm not on the ragged edge of power for the 4 ohm 87db efficient speakers. Everything I read suggest the Dyns like power. The Rogue CM is 100 watts of glorious tubes, and the Vincent is 250 watts into 4 ohms with SS amp and tube pre amp. No one around me carries the Vincent, but I have auditioned the CM and thought it sounded wonderful! I have a relatively small room and and don't listen that loud.
While I like the sound with the Jolida, I wonder how much I could improve it with a little more power or current. Can I live with what I have, absolutely. But if I could improve it, I would like to.
