Rowland M925 4-chassis mono amp

i just want to know how the 925's will rank in Stereophile versus the Dartzeels, the D.Momentums, and the Levinson 53's they have already "reviewed". can they possibly be as good as the darts, or maybe even better? the momentums came so close for less than half the price, while levinson sounded dry and artificial.
at these prices, can one even take a guess as to who makes the most musical-sounding component and/or which is the best constructed?
the 925's are going to have to outperform the 725's by a considerable margin which is not going to be that easy to do. the 625 will probably need an update to mark-2 status so it remains a truly desirable amp along with the monoblocks.
and the criterion has been discontinued (already?!) so am i to assume the 925's and the corus is still a good match-up, or are they going to have to produce an update for the preamps as well- hopefully the super-power supply is not far behind these other new releases.

French_fries, M625 has already undergone a "silent revision"... If I remember correctly, machines that are still at base level can be updated by the factory. I imagine that one would have to provide a serial number to the factory to find out if an M625 is current or not.

Corus is the linestage that JRDG recommends for M925, M825, M725, and M625. Owners that only use a digital front end may also look at the Aeris DAC directly into their amp... I have heard opinions according to which Aeris may be even more resolving than Corus. I cannot confirm nor deny, because I have never had Aeris in my system.

The Power Storage Unit (PSU) will be an add-on for Corus and Aeris.

I spoke to Mr. Rowland last week about M925. I specifically asked him to characterize the sound of M925 compared to M725. He said that M925 is like.... "opening a window". Of course, this is the understandably proud opinion of the designer. Very few people have heard M925 yet, let alone in their own system. My own unit is on order.

I am waiting for the 8-chassis version. Each mono signal will have its own chassis + PS. Will create a new class, the A++
(4x better than live...minimum)

Sounds like an amp that would look good partnered with Avalon Acoustics new statement Tesseract.

Good for them, I hope they sell well. Audio for the 1%.
