Here's why amps can be more important than speaker
I was looking at B&W's site:
You will notice that speaker total harmonic distortion figures tend to be worse than those of amplifiers and it is reasonable to ask why amplifier designers bother to get down to levels of say 0.01% or lower if the speaker is so much worse. The reason is that most of a speaker's distortion is restricted to the lower-order harmonics, whereas amplifiers can readily generate higher-order harmonics that are much more objectionable.

Here are some expalantions from Jeff Rowland on amp design: measurements vs. what we hear output stage technology Apparently measurements overlook many audible problems in amp design. |
