Rogue Cronus Magnum or Conrad Johnson MV60SE...?

I will try to home audition the Rogue Cronus Magnum this weekend if possible to see how it will be...I like the fact that it is an all in one unit and fit the wallet... Anyone have any insight to the CJ Premier 18LS...to go with the MV60SE or ET3...don't know much about CJ and new to all of this. Thanks

Can't speak to the CJ, but the Rogue Cronus Magnum impressed me with my Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers. It was a friends borrowed unit, but it had a really great raw, live quality that I enjoyed. It wasn't the most refined of amps, but it was certainly enjoyable to listen to.

I've been on the lookout for a used one at the right price to give a further extended audition.

Here is my .02...

I have had several Triangle speakers, and the best sound I had was with either a CJ MV55 or a Cairn 4808. I didn't like the CJ MV60 as much in direct comparison. I still use my 4808 and Zerius in my mostly game/move room, but the sound is great, no surround - who needs it?

There is a used Cairn for $750 right now (not mine, by the way), but I think that price is a little high. No experience with Rogue.

Good luck.

I had a Cronus and now a CAV50 and in my opinion the CJ has the better sound.

"Better" is in the ear of the beholder.
