Jeff Rowland Concerto or Simaudio i7 integrated?


Hello.
I own a pair of Linbrook Super Towers from Tyler Acoustics and want to add a new CD player and integrated amp. I am hesitating between a new Simaudio i7 integrated + a Simaudio CD player, OR, a Jeff Rowland Concerto and a TBD CD.
Thanks.

With the Super Towers?
With which source?
What do you exactly mean by "more refined"
Thank you both.
Very interesting. Adding your commentaries and suggestions, I think the Sim would be better match for my speakers (very fast and revealing). They maybe only lack in the the very low bass (below 30-35 Hz) part of the spectrum.
Thanks again for your inputs.
I finally settled on something totally different. From T+A (Theory + Applications); a German firm.

I got the CD player as a demo and bought the amp new.
Very fast, wide-bandwidth components. Neutral and very detailed (but not harsh) sound. Extremely well designed; compact yet very powerful. With my Tylers, they make for an incredible system.
If you click on the link (integrated), it will bring you to the page describing the 1230. I bought the PA1230 (100 watts/channel). More than enough. I was very tempted by the 1530 (150 watts/channel), but it was beyond my budget.
