| Rotel RB 1070 bridged/ RB 1090 Bridged amplifiers are more suited to low sensitivity/high impedance speakers. If your speakers are low impedance your better off not bridging the amplifier. In a bridge configuration both amps see half the impedance of your speakers. In other wor... | |
| What's the better, High Powered SS Amp? Jeff Rowland 201 or 501 mono blocks fit your criteria. Due to there small size they could easily be positioned behind your speakers if you prefer long ICs and short speaker cables. If not they look very attractive and run extremely effeciently usi... | |
| Which is the best solid state poweramp under $9000 Have a listen to Jeff Rowland's 501 mono blocks (500w/ch), they have the power and musicality to suit your B&W802s. Don't let their small footprint discourage you. These sexy looking amps sound wonderfully muscular and refined driving my fathe... | |
| power cords for Roland amps/wadia transport Virtual Dynamics Nite II Power Cord improved the performance (resolution, extension soundstage width and bass heft, albiet a slight dryness in the mids) of my Wadia 301 CD player. As for my Rowland 201's, I currently prefer the stock cord supplied... | |
| BEST match for B&W Natilus 802s Jeff Rowland 201 or 501 mono amps should be considered. They distinctly improved the musicality to my B&W 804s (201) and my father-in-laws B&W803 (501). Both our systems are sourced by Wadia 301 CD players. | |
| N802 speaker cable suggestion Kimber BiFocals XL spk cables and Select ICs (KS1111)sound great with my B&W804s.Wadia 301>Jeff Rowland 201s>B&W 804sRegardsGlen | |
| B&W 600 Series or PSB Image? Of all the B&W 600 series2, I found the 602 floor standers the most musically satisfying. | |
| B&W N803 amp/pre amp advice please At your budget I'd recommend Rotel's RB1090 power amp (380w/p/ch). It has plenty of refined juice to run your current hungry 803s. It's also tonally well balanced and quite musical sounding.glenalan | |
| B&W N802's and Room Size I tend to agree with Hagabet, your amps may not be the best choice for the 802 speakers. Bridged amps suit high impedance, low sensitive type speakers. A bridging confirguiration doubles the power, but each amp sees a 8 ohm load as 4 ohm. Although... | |
| Rowland I disagree with above apprasial from Tomer. To compare both the 201s and 501s in different environments and systems over a few hours may have given Tomer the wrong impression about these wonderful amps. These amps definitely sound much better afte... | |
| Rowland 201 monos with Aerial 7b speakers? I haven't heard the Aerial 7bs but I own a pair of 201s. The 201s are very neutral, dynamic with a refined musicality when driving my B&W 804s (89db/m - Min 3 ohm). If your speakers are more demanding than the B&W and you like playing musi... | |
| Rotel 1090, Odyssey Dual Mono, or Khartago Monos Hi I can vouch for the Rotel RB1090. This amp is tonally well balanced with good freq extension and quite subtle sounding for a very powerful amp (380w p/ch). It drove my current hungry B&W 804 speakers very well. The RB1090 with its slight wa... | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Give the Jeff Rowlands 501s a try. I compared the 501s at home with my 201s and found they tonally sound similar. The 501s with its greater power (600w p/ch) had a touch more ease to its presentation driving my currenty hungry B&W Nautilus 804... | |
| "Upgrade" C-J MF2500A to Pass X250, SimAudio, Or? Try the new Jeff Rowland 201 or 501 mono blocks. I've auditioned both of them at home with my Wadia 301 and B&W 804 speakers. Both the JR amps look and sound similar (neutral, tonally well balanced with excellent low level resolution), the mor... | |
| good amp for b&w N802 Check out Jeff Rowland range. My B&W 804 have never sounded better with a pair of Jeff Rowland 201s. |
