In Reply to: RE: Audio Research VSi-60 vs Rogue Cronus Magnum side-by-side comparison posted by AbeCollins on October 24, 2014 at 13:37:27
Abe, very enjoyable write up. Right to the point and full of excellent descriptors. Great pics too.
I run a VSi60 in my bedroom driving CS2.4s that I just bought a few weeks ago from a dealer who basically gave them away and it is a dream match up.
They compliment each other to no end. I normally use Vandy Treos there. You can tell I like time aligned phase correct speakers.
I was going to buy the Cronus Magnum, loved, loved, sound but I was not happy with the lack of volume steps with the remote. However, Rogue has rewritten the software control and this has been fixed it seems.

Really, the VSi-60 driving Thiel CS2.4's? Now you have me wondering but I'm feeling too lazy to unpack and haul my 2.4's up out of the basement! I would have thought the 2.4's to be too difficult for the ARC. Maybe not.
Yes, I love the resolution and detail from the Thiels and they generally mate up very well with tube amps. I have a feeling the 2.4's might be too large for my 10 x 12 office listening room but I haven't actually given them a try. My Tannoys are bit smaller, a little warmer, but not as detailed or transparent as the Thiels.
I wouldn't drag out the Thile's for the hell of it if your room can't accommodate them. Rest assured, great match. Even easier to drive than the Vandys
But thinking about it, I don't think 10 x 12 is too small for them. They will need a week of play before they come alive if they have been dormant.

I'll just kick 'em a few times in the drivers to wake 'em up! Thanks for the info on the Thiels. They'll fit in the room but with not much space from each side wall.
