Although i might be new in this site, i have had the 9's for almost ten years, i remember that i was forced to make the choice between the 8 and a pair of 9's: after two weeks of close listening to both, it came apparent to me and to a group of experienced listeners that the 9's sound indeed had a faster " pace", a wider soundstage, and a heavier bass than the Model 8. If i could, i would go for the 9 Ti, but times have changed, i would happily trade my nines for an 8, just because of the money, keeping in mind that i would still keep the Rowland glorious sound in my system. One last thing: if you don't have a matching Rowland Preamplifier, you are wasting more than half of the experience!... and that's final.
Any comments on Jeff Rowland Design Model 9
This is my current set-up: wadia Cd + JRDG Coherence + JRDG Model 8Ti + MIT Oracle + Avalon Radian HC.
I am thinking of changing my JRDG Model 8Ti to the relatively old JRDG Model 9. I gathered that the Radian needs a powerful amp and I think the 8Ti may not be up to the job. On the other hand, I am worried that the model 9 could be a bit "slow". Your advise and comments would be very much appreciated.
Also, does anybody has an idea on the current market of the mdoel 9?
