ROGUE AUDIO Dragon Monoblock. High end power amplifier tube/Class D hybrid amplifiers

With the success of the DragoN Stereo Amp Rogue was looking to make a defining statement with their award winning hybrid tube/Class D amplifiers.  An amplifier that combines raw power with musicality, finesse and precision.  Amplifiers that command with authority virtually any loudspeaker.

These new amplifiers are much more than just a tube circuit placed in front of a Class D output section.  Our patented tubeD circuit topology actually integrates the tube section into the amplifier, providing the smooth, natural sound that only a tube amplifier can deliver. With stunning precision, Dragon Monoblocks deliver impressive dynamics and transparency without the sharp, etched or grainy sound that often accompanies solid-state designs.  A low-power standby mode allows critical components to remain on and fully warmed up without wasting power or valve life.  A slow-start feature allows the valves to warm up gradually to eliminate start-up noise and greatly extend valve life.  Three massive linear power supplies are used to power the amplifier circuits and extremely high quality parts are used throughout the amplifier.  Combined with stunning looks, you can be sure that you are investing in an amplifier that truly represents the cutting edge of audio technology.
