Rowland "house sound"?

Rowlands do sound very nice but I find them to lack some transparency or sound a little veiled in comparison to say a Levinson or Krell. The Levinsons I have owned sound more neutral. I just had a Model 1 in my system this past month. I really liked it but overall not my taste. Not trying to sound negative but everyones ears are different.

There's been some progress since the Model 1.

IMHO,
It slays the Levinson, and Krell by comparison, is not in the same league as either.
Levinson lacks any musicality, (not meaning coloration but the soul of the presentation, that ineffable quality we recognize as music)and, again, IMHO, Krell is somewhat hashy in the last three audible octaves by comparison.
Samzs12 is correct in saying that everyone's ears are different--this of course is what I hear. No pitchforks please, just an opinion.

I couldn't agree more with that statement. The fun part of this hobby is the journey of getting where we want to be. I think I will listen to as much as I can at this point & have some fun finding what I feel will make my system special to me.

Since Jeff's "move" to switching amps I wonder if the "house" sounds different?
