No-one talks about Rowlands anymore

This makes me very sad i really don't care what they talk about.  I had Rowland 8T for 15 years great amp with great sound from a wonderful co with exemplary customer service.

My observation is that not many do not talk about a lot of things that used to get a lot of buzz here much anymore. I think a lot of it has to do with increased value proposition these days of more affordable and/or mainstream stuff. Of course esoteric tube amps, high efficiency speakers to match, esoteric tweaks of questionable value like expensive fuses, etc. still get some buzz. And some still offer good technical insights into issues not often discussed elsewhere when needed.     Not looking good for the future of high end audio though unfortunately.   The keys to good sound in general have been discussed quite thoroughly though over the years and those things tend to not change much.

Yeah, whenever I start a thread about something like Nagra, Gryphon, Lamm etc electronics or Lansche speakers, there is no or very little discussion. I am quite certain that a number of people even in the US are familiar with and some even have those brands, they just don't participate, at least on this forum.
Still, speaking of Rowland, Jeff must be doing something wrong from the point of view of audiophiles not necessarily music lovers. Even older Rowlands are rarely mentioned. This is sad. There are very few American solid state amp brands worthy of audiophile attention. Rowland definitely used to be one of them, and now I am not sure.

A quick look back at non US periodicals will reveal a few less mentioned US brands are regularly discussed and reviewed. 

There may be reasons for Enquiring minds, I've noticed one reason often mentioned for the lack of reviews by US periodicals is a manufactures lack of product submission for review.
 
Before aimless and potentially harmful supposition of "going down" or admitting ones lack of product knowledge declaring "sold out" why not simply ask the source?

I submit Rowland just doesn't put a lot of money into marketing. I've talked to Mr. Rowland several times and he was always knowledgeable, helpful, and very kind. His customer service is outstanding.
