Should i go Boulder 1060 or Jeff Rowland 625

Rowland is a much better unit. They have great support if you should ever need it as well.

Boulder is a much better unit. They have great support but you will never need it.
That was helpful, I'm sure.

Horses for courses, but I think Boulder is among the most melifluous of SS amps, along with Burmester, darTZeel and the BEL 1001, sadly no longer in production.

But I think the 625 is the best balance for your preamp and speakers. I think it would provide a synergistic animation to your system.

Or you could choose to desiccate your speakers with Ayre MXRs and achieve that "lasers through Vaseline" effect to which so many achieve and to which so few aspire.

I know this doesn't address your question, but - if I were in your shoes - I would be thinking more about new speakers than either the Rowland or Boulder. Both great amps, but they're not cheap. For the same or slightly more money, I'd be wanting to get into potentially *much* better speakers. I'd be thinking Rockport, Tidal, etc. Even Merlin.

And there are big Soundlabs here for sale for only a little over $6k. And then I could add that Rowland to them or some great and powerful tube amp.

Both Rowland 625 and Boulder 1060 are great amps, if a little different in sound .... Boulder's sound tends to be a little leaner and snappier than Rowland, while Rowland tends to generate a more filegreed presentation, with a greater exposure of inner detail. On the other hand, Boulder may yield a more outwardly impressive stage. Please bear in mind that the Rowland 625 yields 300W at 20 Amps peak .... This is quite enough for many speakers, but not for the most power hungry speakers. The If you were considering speakers as well, it's my experience that Rowland amps work extremely well with Vienna speakers .... at CES 2011 Rowland 625 was featured with Vienna Die Muzik and Vienna Kiss ... The combination was considered extremely synergistic by many listeners ... No, I did not attend CES, but have direct experience with Rowland M625 and Vienna speakers. G.
