| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Thanks @wlutke for the detailed description! That sounds very enticing and I'm surprised that you find the Luxman more engaging than the Pass Labs. Perhaps it's a question of lack of power, but in any case those speakers look amazing.

| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Suggest adding the Sugden A21SE to your list of class A amps. Thanks, added! ...purchase of a used Luxman L-505uxii.

It does seem that ver... | |

Yes, I'm very happy with the Primaluna, but looking for a solid state alternative Is the Maran... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Thanks everyone for the advice. There are indeed a lot of things to look at that could help out, even though I still feel there's something related to air pressure and very fast transients that's particularly bugging my sensitive ears, and that it... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Thanks atmasphere! That’s a very detailed explanation and makes sense to me. Sound pressure is exactly what I’m feeling. I know Nelson Pass talks a lot about different ordered harmonics regarding his designs. Not sure they would be right, but out ... | |
