No-one talks about Rowlands anymore

Buon giorno Mike, I left Italy some 40 years ago, and live on the US East Coast.

I am very much looking forward to enjoying listening to your upcoming  test of the Rowland M535 amps in bridged mode.

Meantime, so that other followers of this thread have a better idea of what you and I are talking about, here is a temporary link to M535 features and specs from my Dropbox. I will remove the file as soon as JeffRowlandGroup.com posts an official M535 page:

Saluti e buone cose, Guido

Hello YYZ, @Alsteward might be able to tell us a bit about the sound of Daemon, as he has heard it at Expona.... I have not heard of direct comparisons of M535 with M825 or M925. However, all reports are that M535 is stunningly good for its $5900 USD per chassis. Meantime...

Neither the Rowland Daemon superintegrated, nor the M535 bridgeable are based on NCore modules

Here are some of the features and specs of the Model 535 bridgeable amp in a temporary leaflet that Rowland used at Expona 2018:

M535 utilizes the latest version of the Pascal S2-Pro power conversion module.

In the $38,900 Daemon superintegrated, a Pascal X2-Pro module in the output stage is responsible for its 1500W/8 per side… Yet it plays a small part of the total design. Here is the Daemon page from the Rowland site:
