Rowland vs Rowland


Hi to all this is martinez, a great fan of Mr Rowland
i'm evaluating to change my amp (model 8 dc wich work only in dc mode with its bps9)
i would ask if someone can give me its idea about model 8 TIHC versus newest 302
i heared only one time 302 but never the m8 tihc
thanks indeed for looking and replies
ciao to all

Martinez.I originally had a model 8(no T).My friend had a model "T",which sounded better to me.I then had the update to the model "T",which was a big improvement.

To my way of thinking,the 8 and 9 series of Rowland amps were overdesigned(a good thing)for High End audio.To me,the new stuff(model 300 etc.)while probably great,is still designed with an eye towards the home theater market.They are lighter,and more compact.

You can ask the Rowland factory,as to the cost of updating to a model 8t/switch mode(2 mods in one)and they can,also,give you ship costs.Remember,the ship cost coming back to you will be much cheaper than the cost of shipping to Rowland,because the unit will be lighter.It's all up to you.Good luck!!
Hey Snook2, Glad your enjoying those grand ol'e 1994 JRDG Model 6's monos... they are a real Ear Opener even at 2005 standards!
Thanks audiobugged. These are the most powerful sounding amps. Your right it was an ear opening experience and have had nothing close to this control of a speaker. A major surprise
