Jeff Rowland Criterion vs Soulution 720

Hi Michael, I am very familiar with Rowland Criterion, own a unit and love it... But I am not familiar with Solution 720. However, it strikes me that Criterion is based on current Rowland architecture, while the M302 tends to show that it is 3 generations old, and may constitute a performance bottleneck... Are you sure you want to replace Criterion instead of M302? I am concerned that even if the Solution 720 were a substantial improvement over Criterion, M302 would remain a limiting factor in your total system performance.

Hi Guido!
Thank you very much for response. I thought about what you told and now I think that you probably are right. What amplifier you could recommend for replacement of JF302 in my system? The amplifiers well sounding with Magico Q3 are interesting.

Regards. Michael.

Hi Grayling, what is your budget for a replacement of the Rowland M302? Depending on your budget, I have a few ideas that are consistent with the power of M302 and with the kind of sound that I hope to get from an amplifier. Let me know!

About 30000$.
