    Constellation Centaur ll 500 Stereo

    I currently have a Constellation Centaur ll 500
    Stereo amp and was tempted to check out the new
    Rowland 735’s . Is there any chance that the Rowland

    I ended up with Esoteric’s S-02 stereo amp, had Luxman M900U.

    In my opinion a better match with my First Sound’s pre amp.

    I'm still using constellation which is excellent but still wondering if Rowland 735 or Esoteric would be better

    The impedance level on the Esoteric was a much better fit for FS amp. Opened the soundstage, better bass etc.

    You have a First Sound preamp? That's cool, I do, too. They're amazing preamps...Emmanuel is a true artisan. 👍
