Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
But who are the naysayers?  Are they the ones that refuse to allow their claims to be tested, or the ones who encourage the tests, even admitting to their own fallacies?  I think those honest with themselves, know who the real naysayers are. It is... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
Some would say it is more akin to religion. Lacking understanding or knowledge, one will make up an explanation to fill in the gaps. Maybe it is akin to anti-vaxxers (and climate change denial), again, most lacking knowledge, will grab onto anythi...

You mean like statements like this that ONLY apply to pure-class-A and make assumptions about heat-sink materials, power supply architecture, etc. that are not a given in all designs. One pound of weight for every 2 watts is a good litmus test for...

"The chassis obviously closes in the sound stage"? ... huh? The only thing that is obvious is that this is a claim with no merit or factual basis.Do those big transformers have closed magnetic paths and cover shields?michaelgreenaudio1,009 posts12...

Optimize, yes we do know what you are asking if say they give a spec into 8, 4 and 2 ohms which many do..

100w pure class A into 2 Ohm ... Means 100W is all you get , no headroom. Now you are trying to change the measure because your anemic claim was fantasy? That's not too honest now is it?Your selective cut and paste and your mention of phase angle ...

jea48, What are you doing posting articles by actual engineers who understand the topic. Don't you know that "book smart" engineers couldn't possibly understand "audio"? All they know is numbers ;-)Orthomead, if you skim over the articles that jea... 
Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?
How "humble" of you .... advice without anything to back it up, is worth ....On one side I know that most of you are to far out in the hifi-jungle to ever understand what you are into, but incase someone should be humble enough to try out my adv... 
Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?
So pretty much you are ignoring that voice coil resistance and impedance is part of the circuit ....right, gotcha. So basically that 7awg number is made up.And no, I don't wonder why components like that exist. They exist because people will buy t...

The Behringer is 1500 watts into 2 ohms, which is about the lowest impedance of the Wilson. There will be absolutely nothing anemic about it compared to the ML2, and that is obviously spouting uninformed nonsense, nothing actually related to reali...

sejodiren,Your post is welcome, as it illustrates quite well this concept of "doubling into 4, doubling again into 2" is just a "lazy mans" spec. It sounds impressive, but only if the design is conventional, and even then, the only specification t...

There are few variables and they are easy to understand if you take the time to do it. Some people want it to be complex because THEY do not understand it and wish that others do not, so that keeps them on level ground.

Miller as usual puts a lot of words down that mean exactly nothing. Actually your last post said absolutely nothing. Lots of snark and veiled insults but no actual info.Tube amps may hit above their weight because they can often be driven into cli... 
Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really
Why would I want anything to sound "warm"? Warm is artificial. It is flawed. No thanks. 
New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps?
Lower center of gravity, more low end torque, typically lighter, simpler, more reliable and cheaper .... Yup, stupid that anyone would want that in a car.
