Hi all
I wanted to know if anyone had experience with Rogue mono-blocks (120 or 180) and LSi 15s?
Would these Amps have enough power to run them efficiently?
Use would be for HT and music.
TIA

I have the M-120. They have held up against any Infinity RS series I've thrown at them.

I had a pair of m120’s that were upgraded to m180’s. They were nice but I found two issues with them.
They ran to hot for my listening room. The heat in Texas and the amps just did not work for me.
I could also push them to the extreme where they would start to compress the soundstage.
Don’t get me wrong they were very good when the volume was kept to a moderate level in the winter.2 Channel Rosso Fiorentino Volterra II, 2 REL Carbon Limited, Norma Revo IPA-140B, Lumin U2 Mini, VPI Prime w/SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC, Modwright PH 150, Denon DP-59l w/Denon DL-301MKII, AudioQuest Thunderbird Speaker and Interconnect Cables, AudioQuest Niagara 7000 w/Dragon and Hurricane Power Cables -
I've had stock 180s for 5 yrs now. However, no experience with them and the LSi's.
I've never noticed them running hot until this summer. I normally don't listen in the daytime, but this summer I have, a lot! Like 10-12 hours a day.
For my smallish listening space, they have tons of power feeding Salk HT2-TLs
The only critique would be that the noise floor could be lowered
That said, after 5 yrs. I'm ready for a change and will put these in the flea market
ps If you space rack is not large, these have a fairly large footprint, IMHO 7x14x20 deep.
I have them mounted sideways on the top shelf so I can see the glow of the tubes and adjust bias easily. Installed straight ahead, the tubes are concealed and bias meter not readily accessibleAC Regenerator PS Audio PerfectWave Power Plant 10
