What are you going to use to drive the PLs?

My system consist of the Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp, Jeff Rowland Corus preamp, Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC, and Bryston BDP2.

Thanks...time will tell if it was a smart move. My friend was so sure they were a big step forward, he promised me he would buy them if I didn't like them. I didn't like the first series because I thought they were too forward sounding. The PL 500s are new and he swears they are very smooth and totally different from the first series. How do you think they'll be different? Have you heard the PL 500s?

I haven't heard the new Platinum MAs, so I was going by what I've heard from the earlier versions. Sounds like it's a no risk proposition for you thanks to your friend's generous offer of support. Look forward to your comments on them, from the show reports they should be great!

I just hope they sound great with my Jeff Rowland 625 S2!

Driving them with the 625 S2 and your other Rowland gear will certainly be giving them every possible advantage to sound superb!

Which gear would match best with Monitor audio PL?

I really like the synergy with my McIntosh gear, but I have the first generation PL's (PL100,PL200,PL150,PL300,PL350, and PL INWALL).
