I have owned an RM-10 for going on 20 years and it is one piece I will never sell but with that said the RM-10 is not your "euphonic" tube amp. I have found it over the years to be pretty much neutral as is the case with all of RM's amps. Not sure of the character of your Rogue or what sound you are trying to achieve. There seems to be a lot of Reference 3A fans that prefer the pre-BE version of the DeCappo. I have successfully used the RM-10 with bookshelf speakers from Reynaud, Nola, Fritz and others.
Music Reference RM 10/Reference 3aMM
Has anyone tried the Music Reference RM10 MK II amplifier, with the Reference 3A MM DeCapo BE speaker?
I listen strictly to vinyl. All different kinds, but love Piano and Zappa orchestral/jazz best.
I have Pro-ject RPM 10 EVO, a Bottlehead Phono Pre. into Rogue Super Magnum 99 pre.
Right now I’m running my amplified Focal Solo 6BE speakers. I have a brand new Focal subwoofer. Sadly i’m still not satisfied with the sound. I’ve done acoustics.
The Solos are just not musical sounding to me. I get a high level of detail, good soundstage, and accurate bass. The sound seems dry.
I have to put my ear up to the speakers to hear any hum, So I think I have a good set up at the front end.
My room is 11’ x 13’ and has a low ceiling at 7’3”.
I will use the sub. The rogue pre. has two outputs - one can go to the sub amp, the other to the RM10 amp.
I’m wondering what people think of my idea? My first choice is to keep the RM product.
