Primaluna and Rogue
Thanks, Tpsonic. Lamm Industries? Do you think the PL3 was out of its league? 
Primaluna and Rogue
good Stuff here, guys. for the most part, the more I read, the more I like the Primaluna gear. Just wish I could hear it for myself before I take the plunge. However, I do have a mild concern that some of you feel that the pre and powers work well... 
Alon V vs. Alon Lotus Elite Signature/Viper ref
Thanks. So does that mean there is a big jump in performance between the Viii's and the Lotus Sigs as well/ Reason I ask is I have always liked the Alon sound, from the II's to the IV's, but never heard the V's, and there happen to be V's and Sign... 
Primaluna and Rogue
Thanks Marty, based on yours and a lot of other responses, I will have to give the PL 7's strong consideration, even without hearing them. I think it will come down to what I can get used on Agon, while springing for a new PL pre-amp. But we will ... 
Primaluna and Rogue
Yes I have heard the rogue sound numerous times and I like it. The bass is in line with my musical taste (jazz, fusion) and neither the M150 or the stereo 90 ever sounded bright to me. Granted, I've not heard the Primaluna gear which is why I star... 
Primaluna and Rogue
TPreaves, I know about the power difference, but the difference in sound quality, if any, is what interests me.Viridian, I will take a look at Quicksilver. Is there a particular model that you like?Thanks for the info, Sogood, I will keep that in ... 
Primaluna and Rogue
Thanks for the responses guysTpsonic, do you prefer the Kt-88 for their midrange? Also, how do you find the 7's ability to handle marginally efficient speakers. I have my eye on some old Alons which usually require a good amount of power.Sogood51,...

Thanks for all of your responses. Ebe, that's good to hear, that eases my mind a little in case I decide to go with the Cremona and eventually need somre repair. Thanks again.

Newbie, I suppose I could ask for that info, but I wondered if the company would also want sales records, and other bits of info verifying that I was the original purchaser of the speakers.

Sogood51, thanks for your insight. I guess that's what it is. Rogue offers a sought of solid state sound with the warmth and midrange of tubes. I guess I'm on the right track then to go through with my purchase of the tube preamp. Based on this in...

You might have something there. Tube Preamp, Solid State power amp, muscle and finess all at once, and a quality brand name (like McIntosh) to boot. Makes a lot of sense.

Wow Jeff, that's pretty shocking for the prices that they charge. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the suggestions and responses. I do bring my own music, and I while I bring different selections with me, I always bring one of the same selections ALL THE TIME (Yellowjackets - Greenhouse). However, I have always listened to the full t...

Dave, you make a good point. My situation is that I wish I could audition all three, in the same room on the same day under the same conditions. Unfortunately, I cannot. That said, I just wanted to hear some others experiences with these products.... 
Has anyone compared the Nola Viper IIa's..
Your response is quite helpful. I'm a little disappointed with Nola (Alon). Their newer products don't seem to capture the same magic of the music as the older products (Alon I's, II's, IV's and V's), unless you go up much higher in the range with...
