| What is the best loudspeaker for a small room? I have used Merlin TSM-MXE's, Omega Sticks, Triangle 30th Anniversary Cometes, ProAc 30th Anniversary Tablettes and all have worked very well in my 9'x 13' bedroom. | |
| Rogue Cronus an upgrade over the PrimaLuna PL1? I don't agree that Rogue is close to solid state, I think they offer plenty of texture, detail and speed. You can do lots of tube rolling with the Rogue and they offer great reliability and outstanding customer service. | |
| Suggestions for a tube integrated under $3000 I have a Rogue Tempest 3 and I love it. It sounds like it costs a lot more than 3k and as a bonus it is engineered AND built in the USA and Rogue customer service is second to none. | |
| Pls recommend preamp for Merlin/Rogue/Wadia setup I love my Rogue 99 Magnum preamp. It is a very musical unit with a large soundstage and excellent tonality. | |
| "Best" bookshelf/monitor for low-power amp? Omega Speaker Systems makes some excellent sounding high efficiency monitors. I heard the Omega Hoyt Bedford Type 1's and they sounded terrific. | |
| Tube preamp recommendation ... The Rogue 99 Magnum is a very fine preamp and the 6SN7 tube is very musical. | |
| Efficient monitor to pair with a Sonos 120 Omega Sound Systems makes some terrifice high efficiency monitors. They have good forum on the Audio Circle. | |
