First Sound & Jeff Rowland

I purchased a First Sound Deluxe MKII from a user that was upgrading to the more $$ First Sound. He used with the Rowland mono blocks ( don't know model) and loved this combination. Hopefully he will see this post and add his comments.

I have a First Sound and have used it successfully with a Rowland Model One, though the Rowland is not my primary amplifier. Actually, the 201s really interest me too and I'd like to try them. I see no reason why it wouldn't be a great combination.

I tried a friends Sim audio w-5 Moon with a MK11 and it took us totally by surprise in its soundstage. It was a match made in heaven and gave us superb imaging and dynamics. I think the world of Emmanuel Go since he checked it out for the buyer before he bought it. I think his preamps are one of the best out there at any price. Take care Dennis
