True if the amp is cool it’s not class A.

Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused.
An audiophile buys a pair of speakers for $50K or $100K then asks what amps make them sound best. That’s about as smart as marrying a girl without knowing her personality. What are the specs that will insure your expensive new speakers and amps will work optimality with each other? There’s got to be an app for that, well no there isn’t because there are too many variables and companies don’t present their specs in a standard ways. Why is it that speaker and amplifier manufactures don’t recommend specific amps for their speakers? Beyond power, impedance, and making your own crossovers how do you choose amplifiers to get all the potential out of your speakers?

@dedobot Music is emotional but can you think of any other hobby that so much money is spent on guesses. At least in gambling you might get a payoff. Manufactured are simply taking advantage of audiophiles, could be that the super cheep audio equipment coming in from China may change the culture between manufacturer and buyers. |
Manufactured are simply taking advantage of audiophiles No, you are not a victim. You jumped into this hobby and figured your pro chops would transfer quickly, they didn't. No one took advantage of you (accept maybe that killer speaker salesman who sold you passive speakers, which you already knew weren't as good as actives). Don't slime the industry because you didn't know there was a learning curve. BTW, look forward to hearing your adventures when you get back from Axpona. |
