Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
Last thought you may find helpful. I used the Rogue Cronus Magnum trouble free for a year.. I’ve now been using the Prima Luna absolutely trouble free for just over two years. PL was point to point wiring, Rogue a circuit board. But both heavy wel... 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
Hi.. I can relate my climb up the amp scale. I started with a Rogue Cronus Magnum..enjoyed it. Then upgraded to the Rouge Pharaoh.. the Pharaoh was far & away superior in every way. Then I was fortunate enough to upgrade again to the Prima Lun... 
How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL?
I have Maggie 1.7s... started with a Rel T7 but after a year the amp in the Rel developed a problem..picked up a PSB sub and it sounded fantastic. So good in fact that it ended my love/hate relationship with my Maggie’s. PSB subs in my experience ... 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
I’ll chime in... I have a Prima Luna Dialouge Premium... not the HP .. and drives Maggie’s 1.7s no problem. I also had prior to the PL a Rogue Cronus Magnum. IMO the PL far far outshines the CM. Zero loss of perceived power or dynamics, even thoug... 
Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology)
Hi I have Magnepan 1.7s... originally I had a Rel T7 sub paired. Honestly, IMO it was just ok and I was wrestling with a love/hate relationship with the Maggies. Then my Rel blew a Diode.. so while it was down I quick picked up PSB subwoofer cheap... 
Mid grade Integrated amp choices
FWIW I made the following progression: started with a Rogue Cronus Magnum. Upgraded to the Rogue Pharaoh..it blew the Cronus away... then I went to a Prima Luna Dialouge Premium..once again a significant upgrade. And it drives Maggie 1.7’s no prob... 
Tekton Preview / Audition in Minneapolis
Soundermn... I am about 3hrs north of you in vacation land. I have the same amp as you, so although I am happy with my system right now & not in a position to upgrade. I may be interested if timing & costs are right. It'd be fun to hear wh...

Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
I have the same amp. You have lots of speaker options. Don't let the wpc fool you, there is a lot of current there. I succesfully drive a set of Maggies combined with a PSB subwoofer with that amp. Good advice your getting let your ears be your gu... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
@ timlub As a Prima Luna owner I chimed in because it is clear to me in my experience that PL products are superbly manufactured. I researched that QC before I made the jump from my Rogue. Just think it wasn't fair that some earlier posts labeled ... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
I've been running a Pima Luna Dialouge HP integrated to drive a set of Maggie 1.7 flawlessly for two years now. In my research & experience PL has extremely stringent QC and oversee their production plant in China directly. As for sound qualit... 
MMGs
Definitely go with the 1.7s. For what it's worth, in my system when my Rel subwoofer blew a diode, I picked up a PSB subsonic 5i for $100 and it integrated with with my 1.7s perfectly and I like its sound better than the Rel which ten times as muc...
