High-end amplifier clarification?
Atmasphere, Where can i find bench test results of your amplifiers? Most tubies have issues with a 20 hz square wave due to there trannies, so it would be interesting to see what yours look like without. Do you post on your web site ? I last heard... 
High-end amplifier clarification?
The point of this thread I thought was all about what made an amplifier high end. To that regard, I hate to say it but its a simple fact that the intention of the designer is what fulfills this definition, not the actual sound produced! -Atmaspher...

High-end amplifier clarification?
So the bottom line is that it is **intention** that defines what a high end amplifier is. It is certainly not the ability to drive 2 ohms, as quite often that ability means that the amplifier might not sound like real music, and therefore neither ...

Ohhh, Audio playback is not static, ever thought what you are considering to be good or bad audio has more to do with the dynamic application involved than it's distortion derivative.regards,

Wolf garcia, you are correct, Boulder amps are high-end. The Adcom 565 mono blocks also are heavy with very large power supplies but they do not sound high-end. Just a case in point.-PhdAgree the sound is , well, but they do not cost high end mone... 
High-end amplifier clarification?
Atmasphere, Weseixas answer is very vague plus his statement that an amplifier should have the ability to drive a 2 ohm load otherwise he considers it midfi, is misleading. But if you do some searching under his user name you will see that his sta... 
High-end amplifier clarification?
Adcom and early Parasound amps I don't consider high end. A high-end amp will provide a spacious soundstage, float the airiest highs, deliver a full but sparkling midrange, and has excellent dynamics/bass without sounding boomy. It should do all t...
