I compared the Cary to the Rogue.
In my house, the Rogue won. But some may prefer the Cary.
THe Cary is a Hell of a lot sexier, though.
The Rogue can use 6550s or kt-88 or KT-90 (havent tried these).
Mark(s) at Rogue are the best people that I have ever dealt with period.
I may have found an integrated that matches my speakers better, but since I'm currently checking out some different speakers as well, the jury is still out on which amp I'll be keeping (I have too much equipment lying around)
But I can definately recommend the Rogue.
One way to be sure is to ask the dealer if you can bring in your speakers... But then I think you should try and make a deal with that dealer, versus using his equipment and time and then buying online.
Just one man's opinion though.
$1750 isn't too bad for a Tempest, plus, if it is a Demo, you get the full warranty.
