Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?

G, you are an organic based lifeform right? Not cybernetic! Maybe your from KAPAX...anyway, I'll check out the sight.

What are your speakers?? Pre?? Source???

Other than making sure your power is enough to command the A1's, maybe the accuphase pre is adding some fudge...nice sounding but not speed racer! Try a used Krell stereo amp with a KCT...should be warm and fast.

After reading G's jibberish I am confident that someday there will be time travel:)

A system sounds like something, an individual component does not! That being said, a system which includes an amplifier should mimic a live concert (amplified or not). In other words, when listening to your favorite music you should have the sense of excitement and immediacy that is so effortlessly accessed via a live performance. Transparent, dynamic and full of color with everything delivering it's musical envelope to your ears naturaly...not too fast...not too slow...just live! Anyone who appreciates music should be able to hear the difference. Some people want to hear a version of the music they love..so be it, but it is not correct!

Live sound is the reference point. One must listen to live music and then choose your system accordingly. In this way you are being honest to the music.
