I know that the original Cronus non-Magnum was designed around the EL34. My Magnum version came with EL34s and they were horrible sounding but possibly due to insufficient power to drive my Thiel speakers and I had no idea how many hours were on those tubes.
I plucked out the Chinese EL34s in a hurry and installed a quad of KT90 and that was a huge step up in performance. The KT120s were even better but now that I have 100+ hours on them I might try the KT90s again.
I may be wrong but my assumption is that the Atlas Magnum is essentially the Cronus Magnum w/o the linestage section.
Thanks.
