Gentlemen, I realize that we all love our tube amplifiers but before we attempt to sway someone we should attempt to answer his question. There have a few posts and the only one who has attempted to answer the question of Rowland Vs. Plinius is Redkiwi. It's ok for us to render our opinions but lets address the question first. Ronslam may have his heart set on a solid state amp.
Plinius SA-100 vs. Rowland Model 2
anyone able to describe the differences between these amps from personal experience - they will be used to power Sonus Faber Extremas - I am looking for more transparency and dont listen at high volumes (the Extremas seem to be susceptible to treble glare), and clean (not fat) bass
