Hard decision to make, but this amp doesn't get much use, so it is time to let it go. Posting here first for a Polkie before posting it elsewhere. Purchased in May 2016 from an authorized Rogue dealer in Chicago, deciBel Audio. I really don't know how many hours I have put on it, but a have had at least 3 different 2 channel systems setup at the same time for the past 6-7 years, so things don't get used on a constant basis. This is 100 watts of tube power per channel and will handle most speaker loads. It is in like new condition. Because it is 5 years old I would rate it 9/10, but it is in perfect condition. It comes with the original heavy metal remote. Tubes included are 4) Tung Sol KT 120's, a 12AU7 clear top RCA in the center pre amp position, 2) 12AU7 Raytheon labelled for Baldwin in the other 2 positions, and 2) 12AX7 RCA 7025's. It will come with the stock power cord and the bias tool. I also have the manual and the original packaging. I am approx 50 miles south of Chicago and I would prefer a local sale with pickup or I could meet part way. Shipping is a possibility, but it is a heavy amp and it would probably be pretty expensive. The current Cronus Magnum III is going for close to $3000.
Pricing at $1750.00.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like additional pictures.

Hey Ivan. It's calling your name.

Wow - really nice piece Bruce. Do it Ivan!
Bruce hooked me up with some of those Baldwin tubes for my integrated and they made a huge difference. If I wasn't content with my system, I'd give this serious consideration! -
Can't pull it off. I've got much more pressing problems ATM

I had an original Cronus Magnum, they are most certainly one of Audios best values. Someone will be in for a treat, GLWTS

Just whittle the guest list down a little. Serve Bologna instead of roast beef.

Don’t fathers of the groom get gifts from their Polky companions??
If all of you chipped in it wouldn’t be that much and I would accept, most graciously, this small token.

Is it still available?

Friday bump and I am going to sweeten up the deal. In addition to the stock power cord, I will include a 10 ' 10 awg power cord I purchased new from Parts Connexion. Please see pictures.
-
Does the cord provide impeccable timing, well defined bass, and highs that aren't harsh or forward?

So close to home. I'm 50 miles South of Chi, been wanted a Rogue piece since listening to the stuff at the '14 AXPONA show and learning about their story. Not to mention, I've been thinking of a tube amp, integrated to power the Boston speakers I acquired this year. It would be a perfect opportunity if my plate were not so full. Man!I am approx 50 miles south of Chicago and I would prefer a local sale with pickup or I could meet part way.
Such a nice piece and offered by a Polkie.
