Well your story kind of supports my hypothesis. In this case a $3000 or $2000 integrated amp beat a $5000 or $6000, or whatever price, one. Now as I asked, what is the giant? In amps an unarguable giant would have been the ARC Ref series pre-power combination of the time. If the integrated Rogue was better than that then we have a genuine giant killer. The Rogue may well have been better than the next level up as represented by the ARC integrated. So, if it didn't kill a giant maybe it killed a taller guy :-).
You also support my point about experience. Just a comparatively short exposure in a store is not the same as spending many hours/days/weeks/months with the "giant". How many times have I thought a given product was superior upon a short exposure to it only to reverse my decison after an extended time of living with it? Immediately attractive sonic differences can ultimately reveal themselves as being nothing more than that.
BTW, I think Rogue Audio make a great product.
