Repeating something I have mentioned before, "settling time" tends to be the same as rise time, but really is not of interest in audio amps because musical sounds have leading edge transients, but die away gradually. This characteristic is used in the restoration of antique recordings. They are played backwards, and any transients that appear are identified as defects, and removed.
Slew Rate?
Can anyone explain what a 'slew rate' is and how it relates to a power amps performance? What to look for as a measurement? I notice Parasound publishes the slew rate of their amps, but haven't noticed many other manufacturers.
ALSO, I'm looking at purchasing a planar speaker -- I'm looking at Eminent Technology ---- and I believe someone once said or wrote that what one should look for in a power amp to power planars is a lot of "Volts" as opposed to "watts" --- any comments?
Thank You
