Rowland vs Simaudio


I listen to jazz, R&B, vocals, some classical and pop. My speakers are the Magnepan 20R's. My room is 20x26x8.5

Looking for feedback on pre-amp and power-amp selections. There are no dealers within 200 miles of my home so, anyone who participates is greatly appreciated.

I had the chance to demo both Rowland and Simaudio integrated amps a while ago and from what I remember, the Rowland gear was absolutely top notch. Simaudio sounded good and is a great choice but to my ears the Rowland amp sounded better. Bottom line is that you can't go wrong with either manufacturer.
