New amps

Hi,

Is it ever necessary to move speakers when installing new amplifiers into a system. I am aware that when you buy new speakers, you need to determine where you get the best sound with them. But has anyone ever found the need to change speaker placement when changing an amplifier from the exact same system?

@whataboutbob1 that is just too funny, I almost spit my coffee all over my screen when I read your reply, then I thought how true that is. I also moved my speakers to someone else’s house when I bought a new amp, now I have a totally new system-win win.

Changing an amp is fun!

 

if you decide to muck round with speaker placement. Allow the amp a month to warm up first.

THEN, if you do, only move an inch, toe in or toe out.

if it sounded good with last amp, why ?

 

IF IT AINT BROKE, …U KNOW THE REST

Agree with Bliss, If you go from high powered solid state to 8 watt 300B, or vice-versa, with the same speakers, you will probably be moving the speakers.
