I'm a big fan of Musical Fidelity's products. However you have what I think is a decent amp. There may be a change by swapping amps but the change might be very small and only at the frequency extremes. If I was looking for a change I would be looking at the pre-amp. What pre-amp and source are you using? 
"...You should listen to what your ears are telling you. If it’s not something different you might need to abandon this hobby and try needlepoint..."

The guys that believe all amps sound the same, if not driven into distortion, have either never heard a good system, or have never bought a premium amp, or believe all audiophile products are made just to extort money from the unsuspecting. Frankly I feel sorry for them because their systems must really suck.
"....Examples abound: http://matrixhifi.com/contenedor_ppec_eng.htm  It’s no use saying “but I can tell”. All these guys thought that too..."

You guys are like a cult of Dr. Toole. You keep posting this "test" that uses shitty little 6 inch monitors and nobody hears a difference. No surprise there, that system is almost a Best Buy bargain special. You guys have to stop embarrassing yourselves. The REAL test is in your own system with your own source material and we aren't using 6 inch two ways....
