Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it?

I purchased one sometime back just out of interest really. For a torture test i connected it to a low sensitivity's and low impedance (down to 3 ohm) ESL speakers. I didn't expect much and was very surprised to find the Sphinx drove the ESL speakers much louder than I expected for the power specification. If considering the purchase of this amp do budget a little more to fund the swop out of the JJ tubes, they don't do the amp any favors.

I've one owned a rogue amp merely from reading wonderful reviews on the net, the guys from rogue maybe great guys, but it was truly not my cup of tea..also its very difficult to partner with gears from other manufacturers..thank god i manage to get rid of the amp, nevertheless the built quality was superb, heavy and machined like a tank.

Interesting Thegoodarcher. I haven't had any difficulty matching my Stereo 90 Super Magnum with other gear. What other gear were you pairing it with? Also, what amp did you have? The integrated asked about here is the hybrid Sphinx, not an all-tube design.

I have read on other forums that fans of the all-tube Rogue grar didn't like the hybrids as much. But in terms of speaker matching (crucial), I think that the hybrid designs may make more sense with Maggies.
