Re: Rowland 201 vs 501 for MBL-121


Well to be honest I am gathering information on the subject in order to try to understand better.
I notice that the very best power amp, at least in terms of driving ability, still have traditional linear power supply.

Going back to the JR Model 201 I feel that the 35A continuous figure is optimistic.
I have at hand an Italian magazine with a test report of the Model 201.
I can see a graph of the power output showing about 18A continuous on a pure resistive 2 ohm load (648 W) and about 12A on a 4 ohm load (576 W).

To end I really do not know if there is an overall better tecnology.
Maybe not. It could be just a matter of implementation, construction.

Kind regards,

beppe
