Jeff Rowland to what?


I currently own a Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier. I'm curious as to what amplifiers I should listen to below 20K, new or used. I'm not unhappy, but I'm curious. The amp will be driving Monitor Audio PL500 II's. The preamp is a Jeff Rowland Corus.

Hey Guido. Yes my iPad spellcheck wants them to be moons it seems. I’ll keep my eyes open for a preowned replacement. Buying retail on something like this is difficult for me.
jimmy3993,

I'll repeat my PM, you are more than welcome to come hear my system. Bring your on music. This will allow you to get a general idea of how the 625 S2/Corus combination sounds. I know your system is different and that's why I say "general idea."

Hi Jimmy, M625 S2 might appear once a while on the pre-owned market…. But M535 is brand new, so it is unlikely to pop up used for quite a spell.

 

The good news is that M535 is reasonably priced at $5900 per chassis. Depending on your speakers, you can drive them with one single unit, and perhaps later add a second one for bridged operations if you want even more authority.


In stereo mode, M535 yields 250W into 8 Ohms, doubling to 500W into 4 Ohms.  In bridged mode, each unit outputs 900W.

I'd like a y r e very much, but I found the simaudio amps even better. their preamp is phenomenal to but it's 40,000 which I think is crazy.
