How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
Hearing amplifier differences to an educated ear is no different, than, to an experienced race car driver feeling a bit of difference on the accelerator pedal with a new small tweak done to the engine, which I have witnessed, living near Daytona. ... 
How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular?
roberjerman, excellent amplifier ! 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
Geoff, as often as I say it, but seriously. Twice, in my past, I admit, I could not hear any differences, using your Teleportation tweak. Personally, I knew a fella who claimed it is very real, and I never doubted him, as many people seem to do, w... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
wolf, I understand I said it. I was creating a situation, an excuse, for roberjerman, as to why he always claims " he hears no difference between amplifiers ". I could have said he worked in construction as a jackhammer operator, without using ear...

Teo, I had a couple of Yamaha B2s in my time ( and a Sony vfet integrated ), and I really enjoyed them. They did not last as long for me as I would have liked, as they developed problems after long time ownership. Repair was nearly impossible to g...

snapsc, I was an amplifier junkie ( I suppose I still am ), that is why. A few years ago I had quite a bit more, but sold off many, much more of them higher end. Here is a list of what I still have, not in any order. Hafler DH 200, DH 220, DH 500,... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
ahofer, I appreciate your response. Listen, I am a simple guy, but very complex when it concerns audio gear, and more importantly, music listening. I know what I know, I hear what I hear, and, there are so many of us, as I am not a lone exception.... 
How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular?
I like horn speakers, but, not everyone, and this is ok. It is obvious the folks you are speaking about like horns. JBL makes horns for the home and professional market, and there are many more companies as well. What sounds good to us ? Each pers... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
ahofer, Maybe we can get together, at my home, using my system, with me blindfolded, and you change out a few amplifiers of your choosing. I will want a 3rd party here. I believe you have stated in other posts of yours, that you do hear difference... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
Ahofer, set it up for me with Shaw, and I will do it, no problem. I am sorry if you feel I do not agree with my interpretation of what I just read. By your response, I am not sure you hear differences in amplification, not even to determine if one... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
wolf, I had no idea if roberjerman was in a band, nor am I claiming hearing loss of any band members, as I was a singer in a band. But for someone as he, to claim, differences in amplifiers do not exist ( and to have a " collection " of them ), mu... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
I will take this challenge. It would be difficult for me, or anyone for that matter, to convince anyone else that differences are heard, unless they heard it too. If I were doing the amp comparison through my own system, in my own room, with my ow... 
Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping...
I have been an advocate of passive vertical biamping forever, because, speakers such as the Dunlavy line, easily show sonic differences between amplifiers, and to maintain coherence, it is the only way to go. Not to mention, the amplifiers maintai... 
Klipsch Belle center channel hook-up
Will, take it easy, we are trying to help you. Are you saying that there are 3 boards, each the size of a single crossover ? Two 5 way input connectors jumped together seems it was made for biamping or biwiring. Center speakers connect the same as... 
Klipsch Belle center channel hook-up
Autospec, I am a Klipsch guy ( never worked for them, but 50 years of Klipsch in my blood ). Many Belles were sold as single center speakers, during the days of monaural, to fill the empty gap between the wide distance between the corner horns ( K...
