I know this is an old post, but I have to give my opinion here.  I currently own a Rogue Cronus Magnum II.  Recently I demoed a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Integrated in my home.  My speakers are Harbeth C7 es3.  While the Dialogue was quieter, had better microdynamics and nuance, and a huge soundstange, and greater transparency, the Rogue beat it in all other areas: bass quality/quantity, driver control of the speakers, musicality, midrange lushness.  The Dialogue had an aggressiveness in the treble that didn't change much with tube rolling.  The Rogue I can listen to all day long, but I would easily become fatigued listening to the PL.  The Dialogue was the kind of amp that would eventually force me to stop listening to half of my music collection, since it's only good with perfectly recorded music.  If that's your thing, then the amp is for you.  But if you're like me and just want to enjoy any and all music, the Rogue is without a doubt the better choice.
