The Jeff Rowland Model 8T is a factory-upgraded version of the original Model 8 stereo power amplifier, incorporating Jeff Rowland's transimpedance (T) circuitry and updated internal parts for improved performance. It features a revised driver/output topology using transimpedance modules and a reworked power-supply section. It retains the substantial linear power supply and delivers around 250 W per channel into 8 ohms and 400 W into 4 ohms, with wide bandwidth (to roughly 160 kHz), low distortion (under 0.1% at rated power), and high current capability. It offers both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, user-selectable overall gain (26 or 32 dB) and input impedance (36 kohm or 600 ohm), and dual sets of binding posts per channel. The 8T is highly regarded for its very quiet background, neutral yet refined tonal balance, and powerful, controlled bass. Production of the 8T/8Ti variants was limited to the late 1990s into the early 2000s and they are no longer manufactured.
