Yet many seem to find the sound uniquely appealing. So yes not an obvious thing it would seem. The fact that no two amp ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Pretty much all amps get more strident when overdriven. Soft clipping helps but one is always well advised to not make an amp work too hard. Nothing special about a set except you get fewer watts before bad things become prevalent. | |

| Van Morrison "Duets" I'm only half joking. I know vinyl has more upside sonically than CD. That can often outweigh the downs.I just do not have much appetite personally for paying a premium for a poor quality product. I love any vinyl when it can be had for the right ... | |
