Rogue Magnum 120 question
"The expressoion "well executed solid state" has me Confused"Detailed, good bass control, no midrange emphasis, no added glare. Was what I intended it to mean. In any case, just one persons opinion. 
Rogue Magnum 120 question
based on my last six months or so with a Zeus, I tend to mirror what Hiend2 said above. So far I've had to adjust bias on the tubes once and 0 signs of problems. I'd call their sound neutral, in a blind test you might guess that you were listening... 
Best tube mono block for 2k

Can sibilance be eliminated?
Great question. The thing bothering me now is whether or not being a stereo nut has made me sensitive to normal speech sibilance that most sane people never pay attention to.Other thing, it seems like percieved sibilance peaks and wanes with thing...
