Rowland's new integrated amp

Just look at this monster. Does any of you want it? I think, Jeff is now catering to a..hmm..new kind of audiophile. No wonder some people chase his older designs and couldn't care less for this digital age devices.
Unless I want to blow someone's brains out with soundwaves, which is unlikely, I don't need it.

With the right speakers capable of handling the power in the right room I'd bet this piece is unbeatable at most any price.

Johd, that's my point. Almost no-one needs it. And then why not 10000 watts?
Yeah, I suspect that Jeff is selling his own former achievements by the pound nowadays. That's his business. Still, this upsets me, he used to be one of the handful of great American amp designers.

I have a different take on the piece. I think the market for the piece is geared towards rich Asians that show their audio equipment as a status symbol like flashy jewelry.

While I have admittedly not tried many other amps in the same category (or higher), I have absolutely no interest in replacing my Jeff Rowland Concentra, as it is supremely satisfying within the context of my system.
