| What is the best loudspeaker for a small room? I have used Merlin TSM-MXE's, Omega Sticks, Triangle 30th Anniversary Cometes, ProAc 30th Anniversary Tablettes and all have worked very well in my 9'x 13' bedroom. | |
| Rogue Cronus an upgrade over the PrimaLuna PL1? I don't agree that Rogue is close to solid state, I think they offer plenty of texture, detail and speed. You can do lots of tube rolling with the Rogue and they offer great reliability and outstanding customer service. | |
| Suggestions for a tube integrated under $3000 I have a Rogue Tempest 3 and I love it. It sounds like it costs a lot more than 3k and as a bonus it is engineered AND built in the USA and Rogue customer service is second to none. | |
| Pls recommend preamp for Merlin/Rogue/Wadia setup I love my Rogue 99 Magnum preamp. It is a very musical unit with a large soundstage and excellent tonality. | |
| "Best" bookshelf/monitor for low-power amp? Omega Speaker Systems makes some excellent sounding high efficiency monitors. I heard the Omega Hoyt Bedford Type 1's and they sounded terrific. | |
| Tube preamp recommendation ... The Rogue 99 Magnum is a very fine preamp and the 6SN7 tube is very musical. | |
| Efficient monitor to pair with a Sonos 120 Omega Sound Systems makes some terrifice high efficiency monitors. They have good forum on the Audio Circle. | |
| I need speakers for low volume listening - Omega makes some nice single driver monitors that are very good at low volumes and the Merlin TSM's are excellent two way monitors that are a sealed box design and sound great at lower volumes. | |
| Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000 I'll second the Ohm Micro Walsh. | |
| Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000 I think you would be very happy with a used pair of Merlin TSM's. VERY musical, but they are also VERY revealing. | |
| Odyssey Khartago Ex. with Rogue Audio Perseus/Mag. I have experience with the Rogue Audio 99 Magnum and it is a great preamp and I have a friend who uses this preamp with an Odyssey Stratos amp and it is a great combination. Rogue offers great customer service as well. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne I think JTinn makes an excellent point that if darTZeel, a very high end company, does not object to using much less expensive speakers, Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne, then that is a great compliment to these speakers because of course they would... | |
| Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence? I agree with you Devilboy that Louis from Omega makes great speakers and he doesn't get nearly enough credit and his speakers should be given strong consideration. He is a low key and deserves accolades for his excellent products. | |
| speakers for tube amp Omega, Hornshoppe, and Tekton all make very good sounding high value speakers that work well with tubes. The customer service is also excellent with these small local companies. | |
| Mark at Rogue Audio Besides making great gear which are among the best values in all of high end audio, Mark and the Rogue crew offers customer service second to none. As a bonus Rogue is American made and outperforms Chinese gear in the same price range. |
