| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions? I'd say any good quality amp 80-100w/ch or more won't hurt, robust with good current delivery, damping factor, not unusually low, should work well. Does not seem a natural to match with a tube amp but not to say a good one with enough power mig... | |
| The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions?

| Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12 Whatever the amp type the maggies will benefit from as much clean power as you can throw at it. Current not as critical with Maggies in my experience. I’d just throw the most powerful good quality amp you can manage at them and tweak from there as... | |

| How good's your hearing My hearing still measures quite good but I know I do not hear to 20khz as I did when measured back in college. I still can hear all the things on that chart I referenced above, which is what matters. Still find many systems to be quite bright and ... | |
| How good's your hearing Class-D has the most detractors BS. References please. Tube amps often reek. Class A-B too. Way more bad ones out there than Class D I suspect. | |
| How good's your hearing George is stove-piped in on technical challenges associated with Class D for some reason. Don’t know what is the agenda. Maybe its similar to feeling resentment towards a beautiful girl that you really like but jilted you in some way? Who knows. C... |
