Jeff Rowland Amplifiers

Just wondering where Jeff Rowland fits in the higher echelon of amplifiers: for e.g. Ayre . Boulder, Dan Agostino, Bermester, Soulution, Pass Labs.

I had nice equipment over the years, but to my ears Rowland is on another level, I understand different strokes, but I rarely hear Rowland being discussed.
