I owned a pair of the rowland 7s. My Spectral 180 made them huge mono blocks sound like a 10 watt amps. Also, I didn't need to sit in my room wearing nothing but my undershorts from all the heat the 7 would put out along with their wimpy sound.
CFB, Please remember that I am not a fan of MIT. I blame MIT for all this cable madness. I was talking only of the amps mentioned. The Spectral in my system years ago made the Rowland sound like a toy. No disrespect meant. I am sure Rowland has come a long was since the model 7s. I have not had the opportunity to listen to the new offerings of the Rowland gear. I am sure they are very good. The reason I am sure of this, is because CFB has said so. I bow to your superior knowledge.
