i am trying to decide witch lamm i will buy,i ahave power hungry speakers(totem mani-two)and dont know if a 100w class a amp will be better and powerful as a 200w class ab,is there a difference? tank you
This is all very interesting, but why don't you just listen to the two ? I would imagine that this question cannot be answered theoretically since it depends on how loud you listen, what type of music, and your preference for the type of sound.
I've always preferred the approach of 1) listen 2) try to use the theory to explain the differences
rather than the other way around. If you do it in the other order then it's too easy to overlook something that might render your theory inapplicable in this particular situation (unless you're really a very good audio engineer, with detailed knowledge of the makeup of EVERY component).
Plus at the end of the day you have to listen to the thing !
Thanks all for the interesting thread, though. Since I studied basic transistor amp design in college and built a few it's always nice to read some more discussions on the subject.
