Rotel RB 1572 class D, anyone own this amp??
Look at warranties to. Rotel's is non-transferable. 
Amp for Thiel CS6
One huge vote for Rogue. Have you heard the Zeus? It's amazing. Fast, fast pace and detail. 
best monitor speaker under $2000
Listening's not going to do you any good if you're not listening through your Rotel. The Rotel is very difficult to match with speakers IMHO. 
Decoupling
I put the spikes back on. Made a huge difference with the Gramma's. I feel no vibration in the floor at all, whereas with the spikes on discs on floor produced a decent amount of vibration from the floor. Bass trap seems to work as well.Someone on... 
Integrated Amplifier for Paradigm Signature S4
The Cary SLI-80 of the Rogue Cronus Magnum (for more power). Bothe great amps, big difference in price. Great customer service with both, Rogue probably being the better service of the two. 
What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio
Stay away from any speaker that is considered lean or bright by the majority of people. (unless you like that sound). At least that's been my experience. 
hardwood floor and speaker
I use brass discs intended for use with spikes. They have an indentation in the center that the spike sits in, and allows you to slide it a little if you need to toe the speakers in or out. The discs are about the diameter of a quarter. They haven... 
"tube watts" versus "solid state watts"
I think it has to do with the tubes warming up the hair in your ear. The vibrations of the ossicular chain displace the basilar fluid in the cochlear, causing the hairs within it, called Stereocilia, to vibrate. Hairs line the cochlear from base t... 
B&W CM7 Impedance Curve
Thanks Bob. Why is B&W's published frequency response not coincide with Tom N's findings? Do the manufacturers butter it up a little or do they measure it differently? 
b w 604 s3 port plugs
If you find it too bassy the plugs are your cure. I have CM7's with port plugs. If I had the space the bring the speakers away from the wall at least two feet, I would never need them. My speakers are about a foot from the wall, so I need to use t... 
B&W CM7 Impedance Curve
Thanks Layman. I read that just the other day. The review doesn't tell me a heck of a lot, probably because I don't know enough about it. I'm trying to figure out if I could make myself happier with different speakers. 
more adjectives to help define 'fatigue' vectors?
I've experienced fatigue and it was the high frequencies. If you really want to experience it, I know for sure that Rotel and B&W speakers with the metal domes will fatigue most anyone. Add in the silver speaker cable and prepare for fatigue g... 
Primaluna and Rogue
Thanks for all the great feedback. I'm amazed at how beautiful the amp sounds. It's going to make the winter months that much more enjoyable. As I don't know much about tube amps, I was wondering if you could answer a question. If I pull the power... 
Primaluna and Rogue
Electro-Harmonix KT90EH is the power tubes that came with the Cronus. The pre-amp tube is a Sylvania. I can't tell what the other two 12au7's and 12ax7's are right now without removing them. I know they're whatever came with it from Rogue. All the... 
Buffalo, NY
Let me know if you ever do this again. I'm in!!!!!!! I'm located in Rochester.
