S. Andrea said: Rogue Audio’s Atlas Magnum II is everything a modern vacuum-tube amplifier should be: solidly built, easy to set up and maintain, reasonably powerful with very little self-noise, and having a sound that shows a bit of tube warmth without smearing over the details in good recordings.

Read the SoundStage! Hi-Fi review.

The gist: Super value in a US-made stereo tube amp.
