Tda -- Did you ever compare the Klimax solo with the Klimax twin? Anyone out there who's heard both these Linn amps and the Rowland 501? Interesting that people seem to be interested in one or the other.
Rowland 501 or Linn Klimax
Has anyone listened to both the Jeff Rowland 501 and Linn Klimax monoblocks (or Linn Klimax Twins)? At this point I have an all Linn system (except for the speakers): Axis TT, Unidisk CD, Kairn pre, 2250 amp. Just got a pair of Vienna Acoustic Mahlers and I love them; found them better in most ways than the Linn Akkurate 242s that I was also considering and spent lots of time with direct comparisons. Now I'm considering amp upgrade. Many Mahler owners praise the Rowland amps, esp the 501s for these speakers. But I've been happy with my Linn electronics and have preferred them to various other amps when directly compared.
Especially interested in input from those who have compared Linn and Rowland.
Many thanks
