Krell knocked off Jeff Rowland

There is a new JRDG integrated amp called concerto for $ 4000 estimated....looks like that chassis is from model 10 amp. I bet that in few months this new amp will be a talk on town. Jeff Rowland ...still the best

Axomoxa, your are referring to the older Concentra. The original poster is referring to the new Concentra II, it uses the same switch-mode power supply and has the same (heat sink-less) chassis design as the Model 10 and Model 12 power amps. Yes, the new designs do run quite a bit hotter than the older models, but no worse than many other amps I've had around. Give your Concentra II a few inches of breathing room in your rack and you'll be fine.

Sorry Avalon, keep dreaming--the retail price of the Concentra II is $6500US. I believe the previous Concentra was $5600US if memory serves me.

Any high quality tube pre or tube power amps will knock both Krell and Rowland in the first minute of Round 1. And they(tube equipments) run very hot!!!

Amen, edle!
