Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp


Hi everyone,
I am considering to buy a full system from Roger, but I thought about using a tube preamp instead of sanders' preamp. Anyone has an experience with a combination of the 10c/d speakers + Magtech with tube preamp? Do you have any recommendations?

I have the new 10D's and a pair of magtechs and the sound is truly amazing. The new aluminum driver really puts them over the TOP. I added a tube phonostage and adding tubes to that solid state signal path was pretty incredibe. My preamp is an ayre (solid state - had Rogers but my CD player overloaded the balanced inputs - but an uber quiet and highly resolving preamp it was-still have it here, unused currently). I live in NY (on Long Island - 60 miles east of NYC). You are welcomed to come for a listen if you wish.

remember - tubes can add NOISE.
Lmomo, I am not a dealer but I am in New York. I am on Long Island. You are welcomed to come visit for an audition if you wish.
One of the most effective attribuites of Rogers design (and why his stats perform so incredibly well) is the external crossover. You really don't want your amps "seeing" a crossover. You want it "seeing" the drivers.
Not at all, Bombaywalla. My amps are between my crossover and my speakers so my amp sees my speaker, not my crossover. That is the idea. Amp does not see the crossover which is an impedience nightmare.

Preamp to crossover to amp to speaker as opposed to amp to to a box of capacitors and wires inside your speaker.
Lmomo,

Thrilled to hear you got the system!  I have a DBX Venu 360 on the way from Roger!
