Advice on speakers for Rowland Corus/625

Yes, I had read that original thread as well. I suspect that for M625, a Revel speaker a little smaller than Salon 2 might be better, just as the Vienna Kiss may be ideal, while in my experience, Vienna Die Music causes the M625 to "work for living".

Honestly, I wouldn't know. But I'm always very interested in knowing what designers are using aside from what they pair up with at audio shows.

The first time I heard a Rowland combination I'll never forget going home, sitting down in front of my hodgepodge of late seventies solid state crap and without turning it on, thinking, what's the point.

I did turn my system on and after just a brief moment of absolute confirmation, it was then I admitted to myself that I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing, but I defiantly wanted in. Rowland…very nice.

I'll drink to that VicDamone! I had a similar experience in 1998.... I had been looking for 3 years for a replacement for my Aragon 4004 amp..... Listened to a lot of gear at Toronto dealers, tubed and SS alike.... Nothing was working for me. One fine day, during a particularly unsatisfactory session at American Sound, I literally stumbled on 2 huge golden behemoths sitting on the floor. Asked Angie Lisi what on Earth those things were, and Angie told me they were a pair of Rowland 7Ms. I asked her to connect them, and I was head-over-heal in love! For the first time in those three questing years, I sank into the listening armchair, enveloped in what I felt emotionally was true music. Those Rowland 7Ms followed me down to Austin (TX), and faithfully remained with me for 10 years.
