What do you think of my 25 laws of audio
I agree especially if you have a fairly large room. I am always trying to replicate live music and am not sure it will ever happen. To get big dynamics and big soundstage you need big electronics 
Voltage question
It should read 120. Send it back

Why dosome high pwr amps fail to drive some spkrs?
Ironic but the Rowland Model 6 is the first amp I have had that gives me the bass and midbass control. Major slam and can also sound delicate. I have not heard the 8ti so I am not sure while it would fail. I also use the Manley steehead preamp whi... 
Manley Laboratories Amps-what do you think?
A company that cares about their clients. My 250's ate tubes every 3 months but I have had tube failures with all the top tube amps. Excellent sounding but never heard the bass I was looking for and went back to Rowlands 
Help with speaker cables and interconnects
Jena labs= detail tranparency and warmth. 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Kevziek, your right on the money with your assessment. They are uncolored and realistic sounding. They will bring out sonic charateristics of the other components. 
Jeff Rowland amp owners: What's your pre-amp??
Manley steelhead mates well with the Model 6 
Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.?
Manley Steelhead is excellent and has top of line phonostage 
BEST 90's Audio Gear that holds its own today.
Just bought a pair of the Rowland Model 6. It is the best amp I have owned to date. Made the Manley 250's sound anemic. Could be the synergy with the Vr-7SE. I took the chance since Jeff Rowland has a high reputation and should be in business awhile 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Goatwuss Speakers in that price range are Piega c10 ltd and the 40k piega c40. These are excellent speakers but not on the bottom end. I had piega speakers for over 4 years so I am pretty familiar. I now have the VR-7SE which should not be even co... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Dynamic and definitely full range. A fun speaker to listen to all types of music. Not anemic sounding like lots of the new high end clones. Better bass than speakers costing 5 times higher 
Von Schweikert 4jr cables?
I am using the Verbatim cables with Vr -7 SE and are excellent. Bested cables 4 times there amount. Contact Paul Garner at Von Schweikert 
VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...?
I'm pretty happy with the Hyperspace/12" Anna arm and Benz ruby setup. I had the ability of a dealer come to the house a couple of times to set it up which left me at ease. He also had comments on lack of info. It doesn't need as much tweaking as ... 
Rowland vs Rowland
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
