I have heard EBM's Rowland 8t Mini set-up,and will confirm that the Rowland is miraculously good.Neither EBM or myself have ever really heard the Mini model 1,but from everything we have read(other posters,and owners)confirm that the model II is s... 
Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons?
Robert,you missed mentioning the benefit of not having the crossover in the same box as the drivers,with the new version Sason.Are you sure you were familiar with the Ascents? -:) 
Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons?
Rx8man,c,mon the Ascents REALLY was your fav design,as well as Robert's,before the Sason?-:)....You are putting me on.No?(just kidding,btw). A question...What EXACTLY is "Rothboard",other than the play on letters,from the designer's name. Also,if ... 
Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons?
I have been fascinated with tha Sasons ever since discovering the website two years ago.I have learned that there are some fine designers that fly under the radar,which is a good thing if one does not want to pay for advertising,and dealer costs,b...
