Jeff Rowland

Bombay walla, soliciting advice or options does not imply that the questioner has an obligation to heed such opinions, nor to explain his deviations from the above.

In the end, Richard's own findings in situ will add to the body of hard evidence-knowledge on this site one way or another.

Earlier in this thread I never meant to suggest that Ricred1 didn't have a vision, but that I wished he'd actually state it as opposed to the original question about a preamp vs. separates.

I too am a little surprised by his choice of bridging the power amps, but I suspect he'll be quite happy, at least for a little while. All his stated goals can be better addressed by loudspeaker placement and acoustic treatment (sometimes adding, sometimes removing). I also wonder why saving up for the 625s is out of the question?

It's not a tribunal, but to think there are no judgments being made is naive. I would hope that on these forums we can honestly and directly share our thoughts.

I believe that the just announced Rowland M625 S2 may cost approx $18K. Makes for significant planning impliccations. G.

Sorry Guidocorona, I find this very weird then. If one is not going to take the advice given nor is going to share the deviations from the advice given then why bother asking a question on a forum & why bother wasting people's time soliciting their advice? One should just go off & do what one wants....
If one is engaging other people in a forum for one's own benefit then, yes, one does need to share owns own knowledge base pertinent to the subject at hand & let everybody (who is trying to help you) why one is going off on another track.

Bombaywalla... Sorry but I do not grock you... I must be senile. G.
