| Rowland 625 Brazcole, I hate to say this, but I think you'll find the 625 superior to the 312. The Avalon suite had the 302 monoblocks driving their latest speakers before the 625 was introduced. The improvement was stunning and obvious to all, as hard as tha... | |

| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet My favorite rooms this year were the Avalon room with the Rowland 625 driving the new Transcendent speaker, the Gamut room and the Playback Designs/DarTZeel room. The VTL/Wilson room was also very good, with the Wilson Sophias sounding as good as ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Design Group's Stereo 625 The Avalon speaker model is the Transcendent, not Echelon. Sorry 'bout that. | |
| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Actually Sunday morning is not too crowed at all. If you're local and just want a "taste" of RMAF then Sunday is it. I've noticed that a lot of couple go on Sundays. Friday and Saturday is full-on audio-geek time.I'll be there, assisting our frien... |
