ROGUE AUDIO M-180. High end Monoblock Power Amplifier

Power, elegance and precision - when you're ready for the ultimate in tube amplification, look no further than Rogue Audio's M-series mono power amplifiers. With 150 / 180W of pure tube power, these impressive monoblocks accomplish the impossible. After removing lateral boundaries, on a stage of realistic height, width and depth, the rhythm and musicality of the M Series provide a captivating interpretation of the musical message that will take your breath away. And along with their extreme sonic warmth, the monoblocks are impressively built and finished - a magnificent piece of engineering that will serve as the cornerstone of your system.

The use of branch circuits in our Zeus amplifier, which are characterized by exceptional design, places the M Series squarely at the forefront of vacuum tube technology. Just a few of the more notable features are a "soft start" ignition system to extend valve life, a massive power source, and the ability to switch from the outside between triode and ultra-linear modes. The highly efficient design also means cooler operation and therefore longer valve life. Other features are balanced (XLR) and RCA inputs, mechanically isolated transformers, matched bytes from the KT88 / KT90 output tubes, and separate 4 and 8 ohm terminals on the back. In keeping with the Rogue Audio philosophy,
