SET amp w/Neg feedback?


Can an SET with more than 5db neg feedback be a good thing?
I thought that only amps designed well enough that they did not need negative feedback were worth owning. Or is it just all about how they sound?
Thanks
Mike

The Art Audio Quartets (845 PP) have a switch for 0 or 6 db of feedback. I was trying them on my Maggies and preferred the feedback initially. One day I had some "girl with guitar" music on and went back to the 0 setting, which was preferred. It was not a huge difference but nice to have the option. Bass was better with, midrange better without.

It's what you said in your last sentence, "just about the sound". Don't get caught up in marketing hype.
