Power, Grace, and Precision — when you are ready for the
ultimate in vacuum tube amplification, look no further than the Rogue Audio
M-180 monoblocks. With 180 Watts of pure tube power, these monoblocks
stunningly accomplish the impossible. After drawing the curtains aside on a
soundstage of full height, width, and depth, the pace and musicality of the
M-Series provide a riveting performance that will leave you breathless. And
along with their profound sonic merits, the monoblocks are aesthetically
exquisite amplifiers that will stoically serve as the cornerstones of your
system. 

Using circuitry derived from our Apollo amplifiers, the M-180s are marked by an
exceptional design that places it squarely at the forefront of tube technology.
Just a few of the notable features are a “slow start” logical turn-on
for extended tube life, a massive high capacity power supply, and the ability
to externally switch between either ultra-linear or pure triode operation.The
highly efficient design also means cool running and greatly extended tube life.
Other refinements include balanced (XLR) and RCA inputs, mechanically isolated
transformers, matched octets of KT120 output tubes, and separate 4 and 8 ohm
taps on the rear. In keeping with Rogue Audio’s “quality by design”
philosophy, only the finest components are used in the construction of these
remarkable amplifiers. See for yourself why the M-180 monoblocks are a
Stereophile Magazine “Class A Recommended Component.”.
