Have Jeff Rowland Concentra II am I crazy...


Was thinking of using it as a preamp, Getting the Mcintosh 2102 or Vtl st150 amps. To bring that tube sound to Sonus Farber Grand pianos. Thanks for your toughts

I bought one from bizzy bee with all the extras and used EH kt88's. Was a nice integrated but found the bass very loose and boomy, the focus switch didnt help that much. At 30 watts I wouldnt recomend it for a med to large size room.
a'gon member 'the kid' uses a cary sli-80 w/grand pianos & likes it very much. good luck.
Thanks for the responses...will let you know what happens. Still trying to get a hold of an tube amp the use rowland as pre.
Got the Vtl st-150 Does sound great. Using the Rowland as Pre amp add some warmth and crazy bass responses. But of course I am thinking of Marrying the pre amp now with vacuum tube pre. Vtl 2 series or 5 upgraditus bad...
I think you should get rid of the Rowland! Its a beautiful sounding amplifier on its own. If you like the tube sound then go tube. That integrated is a well integrated amplifier to perform as it is. I think you are better off getting a pre-power or tube integrated that you like, you will not be utalizing that unit to its fullest thats all :) Good luck.
