| Tweaks: | Use of either CIFTE 12AU7s or various E80CC tubes to greatly enhance Rogue -- makes it a much more full sound with much more body; also, Magnum modifications done by Mark O'Brien to Rogue made it more transparent, faster, with greater high and low frequency extension |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 17 x 13 x 9 |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | Odd room situation: the speakers sit along the short wall of a 17' x 13' room, which has an 8' doorway leading to a 13 x 13 x 13 room; even with carpeting in the listening area, and soft, plush furniture, with the cube dimensions there is too much low frequency 'room boom' |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | All types, but mainly jazz/big band, soft rock |
| System Goals/Comments: | To build a satisfying system at a reasonable price |
| System Strengths: | Very musical with excellent resolution; new speakers integrate well with difficult room acoustics to provide a well balanced system with deep tight bass, magical clean midrange, and non-fatiguing highs;Excellent low level resolution and tone; deep and wide soundstage with good imaging |
| System Weaknesses: | At high volumes, speakers sound a bit compressed; room is too damn small for proper speaker placement with allowance for use for the rest of the family |
