Jeff Rowland 201 or 501 for high current demands

DBLD, I have heard the 201 monos at Audio Connection in Verona, N.J. They did sound marvellous, but had problems driving the 4 Ohm 84DB Maggie 3.6. Reportedly, the 501 can drive the same speakers with great ease instead, but I have not heard them myself. During the audition the 201 monos were connected to the AC via their own stock power chords. By the way, John Rattan at Audio Connection is absolutely a delightful host, and extremele knowledgeable.

Thanks Guido,

That's relatively close. I'll keep it in mind to pay a visit.

Thanks for the advice. I have had them going with the sat. radio for the past two days. Do you recomend turning them off when not using them or just leaving them powered up? I was thinking about connecting them with my processor's trigger to turn on any time the processor is on. Also, I did not mention but, I am running them with my Kef 107/2
4 ohm speaker if that makes any difference.

Leave them powered. Part of the appeal of these amps is that they consume so little power at idle.

Just like Drubin said, leave them on 24/7, they consume basically nothing
