Anyone member here into Jeff Rowland?

I had my first exposure listening to their Class "D" amps, the 501's and was blown away instantly by their looks. None of the gears (SS) I come across had this kind of milling for their enclosures.

Listening thru the new MBL 111's (Jim, you got to see them, simply gorgeous), they sounded powerful, clear and displaying none of the traits I had read about on this kind of amps.

Jeff latest reference Class D (300 series) even have a built in DC conditioner. These are like triple the costs of the 501's.

For sure, I did learn something and that Jeff had a pair of Acapella Violons Mk III's (or is it High Violons MKIII's) during the year 2004 when he first designed these Class D 501's/201's amps.

Anyone care to share their experience with these little beauties but aka like the McIntosh MC501's power in delivery at 8 Ohms? Well, at 4 Ohms, its delivering 1000 watts per channel!!!
