Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p?


Considering a pair of Sasha's and wondering how my old, robust Rowland 8T will hold up? Any Rowland/Wilson combo users out there?

Thanks Steve,
Reassuring feedback re. the Rowland. Jeff Beck just keeps going, getting more versatile with age. I'll have to pick up "Emotion and Commotion." I'll get back to this thread in a month or two, with a report. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any new equipment for a while, but my speakers were recently moved professionally, and mangled in the process. Now that I've reopened the can of worms, I'm also looking at computer servers. Interesting times indeed in the world of ones and zeroes. I guess I'm off my own subject! Take Care, David
Ebm, I agree that the model 8 is a wonderful amp. Have you tried your Mini 2's with a tube amp? I think that a tube amp can give you a different 'presentation' if you will, that is very pleasing with speakers like the Minis. I love my 8 with my Sonus Faber GH's but also am amazed at what a tube amp can bring to the table. Both amps ( Rowland ss and in my case ARC tubes) are a real pleasure to listen to. Great and different.
I agree however MAGICO MINI 2 needs Lots of power a very large tube amp would heat up my room.My best friend has VAC PHI 200 with my old KHARMA 1.0 they sound wonderful!!
Ebm, I discovered that one can get away with a smaller output tube amp if one has inefficient speakers. ( which is what it sounds like the Mini 2's are)
and you have a small room. My GH's are also pretty inefficient, BUT my ARC with 60 watts/ch has plenty of drive in my very small room. If your room is also small/smallish, you may be able to get away with less power also.
