Thank you for your helpful comments as always! Much appreciated!
To all from my previous posts, Doug may have been extra conservative with me because I am in a Magnepan LRS+ phase. I really am not a specification person at all and it's odd I even raised this question. I believe it was truly intended to help others on this thread, in case any of us were placing a specification as a key criterion for purchasing the amp, that there were no unintentional or inadvertent oversights, misunderstandings or false presumptions here . There certainly doesn't appear to be any. And would it even matter if there were any? Probably not!
The S5.5 is hitting the ball out of the park for everyone, so that has much more practical value to us than specs or what is printed in the manuals. I totally agree with YYZ though that specs are important; however, the bottomline is how a component sounds to each user, in their room with their equipment and their music. Teajay loved the sound these S5.5's were producing and everyone else does too. That says it all! I am not chancing it with Maggies though. Doug steered me back to my CSiB. Enjoy the music! YYZ thanks again for chiming in! Best, joe
