I really love the sound of EL34 tubes but not in the Rogue Cronus Magnum driving my Thiels. I had the Manley Neo-Classic 250 monoblocks with 10 EL34 per side and that was heavenly! Same for the budget AES/Cary SixPac monoblocks with 6 EL34 per side (on my Tannoys).

But.... two EL34s per channel in the Rogue didn't work out with the Thiels. The KT90 was powerful enough but the KT120 sounds much better to me.

I wouldn't describe the Cronus Magnum with KT120's as "rich, robust, and warm" like a good EL34 amp so I hope you don't find it to be lean or harsh.

We were in the Coco Beach / Merritt Island area last year for a wedding just before Hurricane Matthew caused mass evacuations. My wife's family out there didn't completely evacuate like many others but they moved inland several miles and hunkered down in a sturdy church where my brother in-law is the pastor. The church and their homes all survived.
