His response reminds me of some of my non-audiophile buddies: When they want to "test drive" my stereo, they want me to turn it up as far as it will go! The first time I heard someone say that, I thought it was a joke but I have since met like 10 guys that way. Perhaps it is their age (late 20s) or perhaps they don't know how to appreciate finer things life has to offer. I think it is more of the latter, as witnessed by you Mike. Funny indeed but too bad for them!
Levinson 33 Archaic????
While telling a Pro-Audio buddy about Big Levinson, Pass, and GamuT amps and this was his response....
That's funny how these archaic amps designs think there the best and most powerful. Its funny because every so called high end sight claims there the best. Crown makes an amp that that is 10,560 watts into .85 ohm. Eighty (80) 250watt output transistors. Final output of 150 volts at an amazing 180 amps. Now that's high voltage and high amperage. Show me a amp that can beat that?
I know all this power really doesn't have anything to do with how it sounds...I was a bit shocked....what can I say?
By the way, how are the pro amps able to produce so much power out of a 120V/15A line with so little energy storage?
Thanks!
Mike
