Rogue built it to lower the entry point for a reference-quality, full-featured power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eIt delivers 175 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 275 watts into 4 ohms from a compact 3\/4-size chassis. Because there are no tubes, there is no biasing and no regular maintenance.
