C1...The difference is .4% :-) though surely not as relevant as the difference between say 0.005% and 1 to 2% (or more). But the point is whether it is audible, or not. Or if you like the idea of the source material being affected by a component a...

If you have measurable amounts of distortion in your system, especially audible amounts, which get described in poetic terms by the 'connoisseurs of coloration', you will not hear the music. Even as much as actually got recorded on the source mate...

Distortion is measurable, as well as audible: just listen to the poetic terms the 'connoissers of coloration' use to describe it :-) Those specs are a major conveniece in the auditioning process (when it is low enough that the mfgr will publish it...

They do not even list distortion, even in the manual. So they apparently are not proud of it. Contrare. So why bother listening. Nor do they show greater than 20hz-20khz frequency range. Though the Output Impendance is in line with what I consider...

They were looking so good ...then a THD of 1% showed up. I consider <0.1% a maximum standard. ATI ss amps for instance are <0.005% at rated power.Oh, well. Thanks anyway.

So why keep clicking on them, taking the trouble to read them, only to further bother to write critical, condescening, and insulting remarks.What is that about.

What is there about what I say that is so upseting to some that it compels them to such hostile reactions. What is it so threatening that they cannot simply disagree and move on. Why keep clicking on my posts, repeatedly, only to become distraught... 
Choosing Components for a Hi Fi System
Point of order:amplication has nothing whatever to do with speaker bass extension.One need only follow the mfgr recommendation for min and max power. Though it is probably wise to use a little over the minimum for a sense of ease at higher levels ... 
Replace Bryston 7BSST by Goldmund 29M
DrJoeI hear you. The room, as an enclosed space is a primary issue too often overlooked by the novice audiophile. However, let me suggest a way around, or perhaps better, 'through', that troublesome, and usually frustrating circumstance. To quote ...
