Jeff Rowland amps, any coments?

That's a little like asking what you think of Michelin. What is it you care about?

Yo Tireguy, the best way that I can describe the sound of a Rowland is that it has no sound. They don't sound warm or dry or lean or anything...they sound like music. I will say that they sound better when you are driving them with a Jeff Rowland preamp. Build quality is up at the top of the scale. They will reveal any problems that the rest of your system has but they will deliver magic if none are present. The biggest problem with Rowland is that Stereo-pile hasn't reviewed any of their newer generation amps(M2,M6,M12,M112,M8TiHC,) or they would be on a 2 year wait like Harleys. If you get one, remember you have to feed them Cardas cable or they pout.

Be prepared to be seduced, romanced and then you will eventually marry it. At first you might not be sure, should I commit or should I continue to look around. But you will come back and you will stay with them. I own an 'old Model 5 and the Consummate Pre Amp' and I have stayed faithfull for nearly 9 years now. ( hey come to think of it longer than my own marriage , yea I got the audio equipment ) Also great company, great people and usually good dealers. Oh, and by the way they also love music and isn't that why we all listen and then buy !
