Jeff Rowland Sound

I owned the Model 1, 2 and jumped all the way to the 8 (no battery pack) some years back driving my previous Avalon speakers, I could not tell of any "house-sound" except from the fact thet they were all great in my system - natural, musical and dead-silent.

Saying that - I switched to Gryphon amps and never came back.

Rleff- I am back to tubes now with a short period with SET, now I am resting with a class A Jadis amp.

Almost all my life with Rowland amps were with Avalon speakers (you might be aware off the business/friendship relationship of Neil and Jeff years back) and, to make a very long story short, I found the Gryphon amps more dynamic, energetic with a great sense of life-like presentation vs the Rowlands - but please take note that this happened in my system/room configuration. I could live happy with any one of this two great brands again.

Hi Dave!

I had the DM100 with the Elektra, as well with the Anthileon, for the S100 I had the Bel Canto - all Gryphon.

As for Rowland, I had the Consonance for the Model 1 and 2, and the Consumate for Model 8 - all JRDG.

Good point.
