Detlof, could Ramy's perceived "harshness" be due to the interaction b/ween Spectral's wide-bandwidth design and the rest of his system?
Ramy, I too listen to classical and also use wide-bandwidth amplification with dynamic speakers. I once listened to an acquaintance's pair of Spectrals (can't remember which model) driving my speakers; no harshness there rather, good rendition of the recording (so, if the recording was bad, the sound was no better!)
Inna:
Although the big, battery supplied Rowland is a great device, the Gryphon would be more to my tastes. As Albert notes above, you only give two choices! Cheers!
