How come the Rowland Amps are so expensive with such a low power rating? Do all their Amps run in class A? Their Model 12 which is only rated at 200 watts cost $15,000. Do they under rate their power for a reason? Would anyone care to explain....
Kelly, I KNOW that it's killin' ya NOT to participate on this one, eh?
Aron, Please do a search on Rowland in the forums, much has been writen about them and your answers may be there. you made a wise choice, my friend -aj
aj- I was thinking the same thing-poor kel is pacing back and fourth contemplating whether or not to post, sipping his drink, and ripping my horrible grammer apart(which I am sure I will hear about any way); or he could simply be laughing which would be my guess of his traipsing through the forums. ~Tim
oh yea and as far as the thread is concerned JRDG amps are among the most highly regarded solid state amps in the world, they do so much so well. Though I can't say to much about this because in my early years here at audiogon I posted a VERY similar question asking in general about jeff rowland amps and have learned A LOT since.
So I'm guessing most people are agreeding that JRDG is pretty much worth the price. Another question would be....let say a JRDG amp is Rate at 100 watts compare to a 300 watt Adcom, which will drive a 86 db sensitive speaker better? Are there more technical things about an amp to tell if they're able to drive a low sensitive speaker other than the wattage rating?
