Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing?
Where does the time go? 
Listener fatigue: what does it really mean?
I saw it. I never did like facing the truth. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Hi George. Yes, I will observe it climbing from turn-on to warm-up also. By 'cold' I meant not having yet played music. But as the amp is taxed, current will fall off ime. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
I will add that this ability is far more dependent on the recording than the gear. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Imo, even that premise is relative. I have no doubt there are recordings that if they can't fool you just because you know they are, you will still conclude it sounds real. I happen to have one.

Thank you, Ralph. 'Sweet spot' is the operative here but the one I was hoping you would elaborate on is that elusive one when nothing is wanting but never stays very long. The one that keeps Geoff in business, and all the other exotic wire and cab...

Textbook!

Or even just with the top cover off. Better yet, two sets of recordings should be done; with and without added cooling. This could end up being a very fruitful case study on due diligence by ss amp manufacturers. No wonder there's separate tube an... 
bass more punch
Does your sub have a low-pass filter? It's important not to 'team up' your sub with the mains but to set the sub where the mains begin to roll off. Otherwise the sub will mask the mains.

It would be a fabulous experience to get together with you guys:)

You got it! Unless of course you decide to either set up the amp optimally yourself or have it done if you're too squeamish. If you do, you won't be complaining about the issue I brought up and you can go ahead and leave it on 24/7.

Ralph, I need to state that the bi-polar amps I have do in fact reduce current when hot, however not as profoundly as the mosfets do. But I don't think it's an 'overheating' issue at all. Simply an incidental one in that because the outputs are op...

If you read Atmasphere's and my posts, you will discover that with this school of thought, a warmed up amp is in fact detrimental to optimal sound in that the outputs are then operating with reduced current. It does perform better when cold. But o...

Krell man, I take it you 'are' no more:) Those are some serious reviews. 
Anti static foam?
Come on Geoff! Just go with it. LOL. Lets have some fun!
