They make outstanding all vacuum tube gear but I wasn't a fan of their "hybrid Class D" Medusa amp that couples vacuum tubes to Hypex UcD modules.
I was really surprised when Rogue came out with a class D hybrid amp. The very concept is flawed from the beginning. This switching mode creates more problems than it helps. I think Rogue may have hurt their reputation a bit because of this. I have enjoyed some of their tube gear in the past. I think this is where there forte is and they should stick with it JMHO
The new ST-100 stereo amp is so great...and the M-180 monoblocs...I took them home for a week and was left completely unsatisfied with what I was previously thrilled with.

I hear they're working on some new stuff for later this year, but no details yet. Rumor = solid state amp, not class d.
Come on Mark, spill the beans.

IME, class D stands for 'dicey'.
'Detailed'.
