Concentra II rowland help


I know the II has 150 @ 8 ohms and 250 @ 4 ohms
I bought a new II about 2 weeks ago and find it has what I call very layed back dynamics I driving 91 db @ 8 ohms speakers (JM labs) which I have had krell and levinson both on and find the Rowland II is not as dynamic any ideas?

Or is this typical from a Rowland?

Hello,

Jeff Rowland is a little laid back in nature as compared
to Krell or Levinson. I found that tube amplifiers match
JMLAB speakers much better than solid state. This was from
experiences with Mini-Utopia, Mezzo Utopia and Electra 920.

If you want a solid state that can be a good match, then
check Plinius SA-102 power amp. This will be a very good
match with JMLAB. It is soft, very musical and very good
dynamics. Better than Krell for sure. Don't know about ML
amps. I haven't heard any of the Mark Levinson to give an
opinion.

Good Luck
