Wondering what has proved to be a good match with the Rogue audio
Cronos magnum integrated Amp ?
I'm pretty set on this amp & need speakers & TT.
Keeping a budget in mind some of the ones considered are
PBS T6 , Golden ear Triton 7. , Nola Boxer 2.
Let me know what you choose

I've had this integrated a few times now. It's my favorite integrated easily. Most integrateds have a pretty mediocre pre-amp section. The Cronus actually has some drive. Replace the tubes and fuse and you'll have a great rig.
Absent a ghetto-load, it should work well with a bunch of speakers. I'd recommend Harbeth, Nola Boxers (this would likely be a really nice pairing for not too much money) and the KEF LS50s.
I've heard the Boxers with really, really nice upfront electronics and they were very good.
Just for kicks, I replaced my Shindo electronics with the Cronus on my Devore Silverbacks and the delta was much smaller than you'd expect.
The other one worth exploring would be the Evolution Acoustics Micro Ones.
Thanks for the feedback [oh made a joke ]
Thiels may be too $$
Glad to hear about boxer's the type 2 is brand new should be very close to originals a little more $ a little improved [I hope ]
My Thiel CS2.4 work nicely with the Cronus Magnum using KT120 power tubes. I would suspect smaller Thiels to do well too.
I'm presently running Tannoy Definition D500 speakers which also work well with this same amp on EL34, KT90, KT120 tubes. I still prefer the KT120s.
I recall reading Steve Guttenberg (CNET article) enjoyed his with his KEF LS50.
I have a pair of EgglestonWorks Fontaines (original model). I asked EgglestonWorks President Jim Thompson for a recommendation on which amp to use with them, he told me he enjoys his pair of Fontaines driven by the Cronus Magnum.
Just sayin'.
In the "Inmate Systems" section, do a search for "Cronus"; the results show the speakers used in those systems.
Vapor Breeze.
Incredible!
I think you're doing it wrong, should pick speakers first.
just my .02
You aren't the only one. Do you have the Cronos mag .?
