nd while quiet definition, tone, and texture were outstanding from such a reasonably priced product, its Class/A power storage power handling is what truly surprised me. The bass drum whacks on side 2 of the LSO/Dorati/Classic Records The Firebird were nothing less than astonishing. I expected a tube clip of some sort; happily, tube clipping is a little more gentle than a solid-state howl. But I was ready, nonetheless. Nothing. A non-event. All I heard was the initial strike and amazing bass drum resonance in Watford Town Hall’s acoustic.

So, you’re set on tone, texture, and dynamics, but the Roma also images well and reflects the engineer’s vision for soundstage. So my old standby, Stan Ricker’s amazing 1989 MoFi cut of Tea for the Tillerman had all the depth and voice and instrument placement specificity for which the record is famous. And because of its power handling, classic rock fans may audition the Roma with an expectation of excellence.
