Thiel and Jeff Rowland

Stevedepp,how big is the room that you'll be using???If it's fairly large than I can tell you first hand that you'll need quite a bit of power to get the 3.6's up to a fun volume.If you don't listen to your system loud than it won't be as bad.Personally I thought the ML amps were to dry sounding with my 3.6's and finally settled in with an older Krell amp with lots of balls at a very low cost compared to new pricing! Did try a Rowland on loan from a local dealer and it sounded sweet but cost was too big of a factor for a minor sound difference to the Krell. As always your front end source components may bring you different results than mine with regard to ML sounding dry. 3.6's are ruthless with what you put in front of them and connect up with but once you find the synergy they will explode into your listening room with pure , coherent , MUSIC!!! as a musician my ears are very pleased with accuracy & timbre.
What is your front end set-up?????BRYhifi

I don't know if your going to spend what the Rowland 8Ti goes for but that was the amp I borrowed to audition...WOW!!
Smooth as butter on almost all recordings,from old to new.
Look for a Rowland from '91 to '96 with 150 wpc minimum.That
is going to be my next move in the spring just for arguments
sake. Not many Rowlands make it to the used market,but the ones that do keep a fairly high resale value.--------After listening to Krell KSA-150/250's there was a warmer sound from the Rowland but the sheer control over the 3.6's was had by the KSA-250, "GOOD" MIT cables started to bring back the warmth to the Thiels and left me feeling that I was not missing anything. The boys @ Thiel even agree that the older
KSA-150/250 amps with MIT Highline series wires sound very,very good....as do Goertz wires.(haven't tried them yet)...BRYhifi
