Capacitor-less amps


I've read some amps have no capacitors. Is this a good design?

All amplifiers have capacitors. I suppose theoretically one could be run off humongous batteries, but converting AC to DC will require capacitors. Many companies tout having no capacitors in the signal path. This requires an extra level of care as speakers will detonate if significant DC is present on the output. There are numerous design techniques to eliminate the DC without caps.
