Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Thanks for your expertise. I have a question about damping. You said a heavy gauge speaker wire would actually decrease damping. So a speaker gauge around 16 might exert more control over the woofers for deeper bass?

A VPI brick I heard one describe it as a black hole for stray electrical fees 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
Good pick for 'Hush" I love turning that one up to 11 
I admit it, I get skin orgasms.
We audiophiles probably have a stronger frisson experience. I can hear the same song thousands of times and not get tired of it. I listen to the music a lot more than the lyrics. Hey you just don't get tired of good sax!!
