I could find no fault with them running on Rogue tube power amplification in conjunct... | |

| Krell and MBL I've heard mbl amps with mbl speaks only. It sounded very unique and good. I attributed much of that to the distinct omni design mbls more so than the electronics, which I think are more conventional in design and build compared to other good gear... | |
