| How do you high pass your main speakers? High passing the main speakers is something I would never consider. Your ATCs make excellent bass, why would you want to take that away from them? You can integrate subwoofers seamlessly without doing so. | |
| Question about wpc on tube amps watts are watts but tube amps dont really create an ear screetching nightmare when they are over driven, they just run out of steam, especially in the bass. for maggies there is not a tube amp in your budget that i would recommend. | |
| The most tower like stand mount under $4k Look at stand mounts with a passive radiator or larger cabinet to give you a full sound and tower quality bass. mofi sourcepoint 8 have a huge sound buchardt audio s400 has very good bass deftech D11 legacy audio calibre (used if possible, a... | |
| I need impedance help. Rogue RH-5 to Solid State Amp. @nickrobotron In that range check out the BelCanto e.One REF501S. Balanced connections, 95Kohm impedance but more importantly an ultra smooth midrange and treble that will go together with the RH-5. The RH-5 is dead on neutral and sounds bes... | |
| I need impedance help. Rogue RH-5 to Solid State Amp. I had this preamp and it is super clear and has amazing drive and dynamics. Specs schmecs. my amp at the time had 23k input impedance and sounded fantastic. what amps are you considering? | |
| which should I get Rogue RP5, Hegel P20, Belles Aria Preamp, Audible Illusion Modulus 3B The Rogue tubes are harsh out of the gate but really smooth out nicely to a super refined sound. Would have been my recommendation. | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. Having owned a few KEF speakers you definitely want a smoother than average amplifier to provide complimentary sound, along with enough power at 4 ohms to avoid any thinning of the low end. A $ 2k budget is slightly challenging but this one will m... | |
| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? owned a cronus mag 2 for 3 years, an RH5 preamp, RP7 preamp and Stereo 100 power amp. the only issue i had was a slight delay in the startup of the 100, fixed quickly by the dealer tech. | |

| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) GET THEM ! | |
| Upgrade Spendor A4 to D7.2? @wqgq_641 I have the D7.2 and they might surprise you with your Rega Elex amp. They are quite a bit more efficient than the A4. I drove them with a tube amp for a while and they were spectacular. Great for piano and drums. | |
| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? I just heard the LRS+ at the AXPONA audio show driven by a pair of Rogue Audio DragoN hybrid mono block amps. The sound was excellent, rich, very full and smooth. The DragoN mono blocks are not out yet but they use the same topology in the DragoN... | |
| Galion TS120 @dz13 Thanks for the info. The use of the term ChiFi is not derogatory in any way. It is used to describe decent quality hifi, made in China, that are of extremely high value. The key is high value. Spending amounts of money that are near o... | |
| Galion TS120 1- The Gallion lists for $4495. The Doge listed for $1999. $4495 for a piece of ChiFi? 2- The NRD video makes them sound more alike than different. Having owned one of these amps and heard another extensively they are as different as night an... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? 12 inches from the wall and 8 feet away is much too close for the second largest lossy cabinet Harbeths. Even 24 inches from the wall is too close- you will get bass peaks. Try the P3ESR and (2) REL T7X subwoofers. |
