Rowland M725

[clab]

Hi Guido

a big review, 5 and 1/2 pages of text + front cover !

surprising that with such a low damping factor they are able to drive these Magico monsters ...

Magico speakers need a lot of power and the Q7 is the biggest model they are building now.

Hi Claude, fact is that Magico Q7 may to be more sensitive than my own Vienna Die Muzik... And M725, in spite of damping factor that is modestly declared to be "greater than 200", control their bass better than the older M312, which has a damping factor greater than 1000. I am starting to understand why Jeff rowland has been telling me for years that the damping factor number above 100 or so, may not make a great difference per se... What matters is the design and execution of the total amp. Guido

Once you open the URL, search for the string "725".

Merry Christmas! Guido
