How is current measured?


i always read about how certain speakers (like maggies) need high current amplifiers to really shine. i am new to this and was wondering how is current measured? can i look at the specs from different amplifiers to see which have the highest current? is an extra high current detrimental in anyway?

You can examine maximum continuous current by looking at specs of output devices and applied collector(or emmitter for emmitter follower) voltages.
Measuring the current with Ammetter won't bring you a sufficient information unless you're using an oscilloscope to analyze transients.
