Tekton Design Lore - Cronus Magnum II

Thanks for the response lowrider. I'm aware of ground loops, using cheater plugs, etc. Are you suggesting a dedicated AC line specifically for your stereo system? My last tube amp of course there was  a slight hum heard close to the speakers. So then perhaps I have it totally wrong insofar as thinking more watts might produce more hum while amp is idle.

1) The CMII is an excellent amp with lots of soul, especially if you start experimenting with different small signal tubes it can become extremely "soulful".  
2) In many Tekton test reports they are much less sensitive than their spec.  e.g. ~ 93db 
3)  "At idle" still depends on your volume setting.  More sensitive speakers will require a lower volume than less sensitive speakers for a given loudness.  The amount of hum, if any, will be equal because of relative volume settings between more or less sensitive speakers.

In other words- go for it.  The CM II delivers and sounds better than most solid state amps regardless of price.  

Thanks "Avanti!" Good info.

I agree with @avanti1960 100%. Plus, it's not the amount of watts you need to be concerned with, it's the gain of the preamp/amp. This determines the volume setting on your integrated in combination with the sensitivity of the speakers. I dont believe Rogue components have a high gain, so you should be fine with this choice of amp and speakers.

@wcc10 , yes I am recommending a dedicated AC line specifically for your stereo system. The low-level hum you heard previously may have actually been from your AC line and not the amp.
  Look in the Audiogon archives using the key words "dedicated line" to learn more about it. This AC line is run from your service panel (circuit box) directly to a dedicated wall receptacle for your system. The idea is to isolate the  HiFi from the other electrical devices and appliances in your house/apt. Electrical appliances such as refrigerator, washer, dryer, furnace, light dimmers all add noise back down the mains to your circuit panel. And your stereo system is wired into all these devices.

Thanks. Great info.A dedicated line makes perfect sense albeit an expense the other 1/2 might slightly object to. (she's not quite as enthused about my hobby as I) Not a big deal to do this myself but I can hear it now about burning down the house! Right now I'm tossing around in my head maybe going with a PrimaLuna Dialogue although I have a lead on a new CMII at a good price.Either way I've got to make a move soon. Thanks.
