Amp - preamp or integrated
First, I estimate that my budget for new amp /pre amp or integrated will be around 5K after selling my Rogue Chronus Mag 2.  McIntosh would be out of range unless I get a good deal on used ones. My Rogue integrated although 4 yrs old, the tubes ha...

So far I had my Vandys 2 sig for over 4 yrs. It seems im ready for a change or at least would be open to listen to others. Heard good things about the magnepans. They seem to require a good source or current which my Rogue CM did not supplied. So ...

Pardon my ignorance, but how can I connect any sub(rythmik or REL) to the Rogue CM if there is no sub amplification. I dont understand what is to go line level?

need an A/V amp for my thiel CS 2
I will be driving multi channels (center, front,and rear ). I also failed to mention that I own a Counterpoint SA12 (100w) and a SA 3 preamp. The Pre amp needs new tubes and the amp probably has a blown Trans. I would suggest it will take about $3...
