I was building a new music room that I wanted to share with my family.
I wanted an amp that would not heat up the room so that the others in my family would hang out with me. I previously had an OTL amp which sounded excellent but turned my room into a sauna. To make a long story short, I have no regrets. I am now using SET amps (Coincident Frankensteins). I was fortunate to find speakers later on that work very well with the Frankensteins. My wife will sit with me and listen to music now. In fact, she has been regularly asking to listen to music together. It's been a plus for our relationship.
What makes you build a system around an amplifier?
Serious question. I almost always care about the room and speakers first, then build around that. However, this is not the only way to do things.
If you have ever insisted on keeping your amplifier, but were willing to change everything else around it, please let us know why. What made an amp so outstanding in your mind that it was worth making it your center piece. Imaging? slam?
Be specific about the amp and speakers or other gear that you shuffled through.
Thanks!
