| Is there anyone who came back from tubes to SS? Used to own a Melos tube amp, before that an ARC D115. Now I like the Jeff Rowland that I own a lot more. Why, the tube amps give off an enormous amount of heat, and in a small room this is a drag. Plus you never really know how the tubes are hold... | |
| These speakers look exactly like Sonus Faber Amati Homage Heard these speakers the other day. They need to be pushed hard to sound good, but they are very nice indeed when you do push them.The ceramic drivers give a nice airy top-end and the midrange is articulate. The only slight problem that I heard wa... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 6 or Model 8 Haven't heard the model 6, but I own a model 8 and it is a hard amp to beat. Put it up against Lamm's, Melos, Symphonic Line and Herron's. Better for my system by far.The amp I have is modded but has the original choke power supply, which is the w... | |
| Hovland-Pre,anyone heard it ? Heard the Hovland yesterday, along with their new amp. Quite impressive, especially the pre-amp; the amp is rated at 40W. and seems to portray a good stage but is a little sterile.In comparison to my CAT sig, I think the Hovland has it all over on... | |
| Hales System II Signature check out some of the threads on Speaker Asylum... If my memory serves me right these speakers are 89db efficient.They weigh in at 181 lbs each, the front baffles are supposedly four inches thick and the sides are two inches thick. The drivers are... | |

| Hales System II Signature I also have system 11 sig's. They work well with my Rowland model 8. Have also heard them with Classic 60 ARC also very smooth.Sadly this speaker seems to be getting some bad press recently on some of the chat rooms.I have compared it against most... | |
| Floor Standers Vs. Book Shelf Speakers Jamma, you might want to try and hear a pair of Acoustic Energy AE1's. They can still be found used in your budget, and at one time they were considered to be among a very small elite in a stand mount. | |

| Anyone upgraded the Jeff Rowland Model 8 Sluggo 2, did you upgrade your supply to the dual mono supply from the choke? What power cord is a good match? | |
| Hales signature 2's. Did the Muse sub help? How do you think this combo holds up today? | |
| Hales signature 2's. Glreno, that's the same speaker. Tremendous imaging and real palpability. Very dynamic, however, unfortunately very poor ability in the bass. Most of the reviews at the time, recommended a sub. My room is soooo small a sub would be detrimental. Bu... | |
| Hales owners discussion Currently using the Hales signature 2's. Driving them with a Jeff Rowland model 8. Would it be a good idea to upgrade to another model or change the amp to a tube amp? |
