I've seen a review from Absolute Sound comparing digital amps and interestingly 2 writers (Neil Gader & J Valin) rate the 201 second best in a list that includes spectron, kharma, cary, nuforce, CI audio, audio research, and red dragon. The comment on the rowland 201's were that they had a "problematic treble" as in all class D/T amps. The positives includes an exceptional midband and outstanding bottom octaves.

I appreciate your comments and can understand your argument that low efficiency and low impedence would require more watts.
