Rowland JRDG 501 and Wilson Audio

I plan to buy WP/8 or Sophia 2. Is this a good match?
What will be an alternative speaker choice?
I will keep the Rowlands for amplification.

Perhaps the 201/501 would be less bad with Rowland's new outboard power supplies, but I would still think you want an analog amp with Wilsons (PS - What made you decide to buy Wilsons?).

There has been a lot written about the problem here and at the Asylum. In any event, go listen for yourself.
