In response to Statman...I own Rowland gear, and a lot of it. Some people say it's a bit mellow; I don't find that at all...but MLs tend towards brightness, especially the hybrids with lesser amps. If you don't already own MLs, check out the Sound Labs...A3s or A1s or even U1s...with a pair of Rowland 7s the sound is positively jaw-dropping. I'm not surprised Statman changed to ARs, I used to have them (Classic 60s) and they sounded rolled-off to me...a nice compliment to MLs though.

Anybody have any direct experience with matching the M-Ls with Rowland amplifiers? All comments are appreciated.
