The New Jeff Rowland amplifiers ROCK

Just got back from the CES yesterday and saw some of the awesome new lines, I love the new class AB Rowland pieces.
Absolutely wonderful! 925 and 625 AB amplifiers.
Did any one know about this? well thats the place to find out I guess. Hansen had their new speakers with the Tenor monos and they were nice too.

Funny that many companies were not there at the same time.
Rowland went with the AB design since the class D was for the more affordable group. Very nice selection from this long running company.

I have heard it today with Puccini+Clock & the 312 on Avalon Ascendants...
difficult to say something as I couln't compare it to the Capri and as these loudspeakers are limited ... but as usual beautfully build! ... it seems to be the exact replica of the upper part of the Criterion

but once again here in Europe the price jumps: 16'500 $

Hi Claude, I have not seen Corus. But, for what I have been told, the main chassis of Corus probably looks very much like the control chassis of Criterion. But in Corus, main chassis houses audio section as well as control section. Power supply in Corus is in an external box, which can sit somewhere on the floor, because the connecting cables are 2M long. I looked at the specs, and the external SMPS box appears to have same dimensions as an external PC-1 rectifier.

In looking over the Corus manual, I see no mention of a phono option. Does anyone know if Jeff will continue to offer phono boards for the Corus as he has for other recent preamps?

On the one hand it looks like he is abandoning phono and on the other it appears that he is throwing full support and creativity into analog recording, which I had thought was really dead. Am I out of touch or is this as weird as I think it is?

Macro, Corus manual does not discuss internal phono cards because... there is no provision for internal phono cards in either Corus or Criterion. G.
