I am interesting in purchasing a Rowland model 3 to replace my BAT VK-60. I have never heard the amp but have heard good things about Rowland in general. I am wondering how they will sound with my VSA VR4jr's playing clasic rock.
I would recommend a used pair of Rowland Model 6 monoblocks or even the Model 2 stereo amplifier. Both are very musical and have enough power for your Von Schweikert VR4jr's.
I am on a limited budget of $2500.00 for the amp purchase so a pair of 6's or Model 2 is unlikely. The digital amps offer alot of bang for the buck & VSA used to voice with them.
I am curious about the Bel Canto, Nu Force & Spectron's, I may buy one (or a pair) to see how they sound.
I have a Rowland Concentra integrated amp, and, for what it's worth, I love the sound, and found it to be vastly superior to a Bel Canto integrated which I tried previously.
Damn good for starters. One of the best out there. Sweet but not cloying, natural with good sound staging. Will handle most any load with aplomb too. Also beautiful to look at. This will be a marked improvement for your system. Roland makes great gear.
