No-one talks about Rowlands anymore

Thanks for the feedback.

The  Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier vs the Luxman M900u would be very interesting comparison to me since the m900u is the amp I have been targeting to get for my big rig system for some time.

After reading Guido's feedback on a few sites regarding the Rowland's, I have started to think I should also have a listen to them before making a purchase decision. Another reason pulling me toward the Rowlands  is that I am starting to become a believer in extremely quiet electronics, such as my Benchmark AHB2 amp. The Rowlands appear to follow this philosophy. Another brand that intrigued me for the same reason was Mola Mola with their pre, amp, and stand alone DAC..

I Think many have woken up with todays, million dollar chassis with 3rd party cheap (in comparison) Class-d modules inside.

The $10K usd  Continuum s2

A third party Chinese sub plate amp, look closely at the amp module in both pics.

Continuum s2 use 3rd party Class-d modules from Pascal.

Jeff's  electronics superb

And from what I understand, Pascal get them form  China, and mod them, and then Rowland buy them.

And when they were advertised on Alibaba, these modules sold for $100 each for lots of 10
