Heard the New Jeff Rowland 302 Power Amp?

The comments by Jfz confirm what the Stereotimes reviewer said about the 302: that it actually has more top-end energy than a Pass X-600 (thus it may sound brighter than Pass), and that it has a somewhat lean presentation compared to previous Rowland designs. Thus anyone looking for warmth or a classic Rowland sound may want to approach the 302 with caution. A serious home audition would be in order here. While I haven't heard the 302, I find Pass X amps lacking in warmth (I once owned the X-250), while earlier Rowlands can be warm & musical although they are not the most revealing amps.

Jfz - thanks for the Pass info. Yes, I realize that the warm/lean distinction was not refering to top-octave energy, but rather an overall character (hard to describe but you know it when you hear it). And I'm sure the 302 is a great amp, but it may have a flavor that does not suit all Rowland fans. It would be interesting to hear in detail why you found the 302 so much better than the 10.
By the way, why do some say the 10 is better than 12 within its power window? Just curious.
