hey craig,
i listened to one for about 20 minutes at audio connection in verona, nj. system was: cary tube disc player>cary pre.(small chassis 2 tubes and a transformer)>rogue 88>vandersteen 1c's. someone flipped a lightswitch in the other room and pop! fireworks inside the rogue, game over. it was just the fuse, and i thought it sounded darn good for the price. but the fuse blowing did not impress me. that day i also listened to some quicksilver m-60 i belive, el-34 based 60w.monos that rocked the socks off the rogue.
totally off topic part: i just added a plinius 8150 integrated to my system(source>8150>vandersteen 1c's)
love it!
