Please note that I am not defending this amplifier's performance.
I am only pointing out that those on this forum who condemn its
sound without actually having heard it are shooting in the dark.

And herein lies the problem - people on this group are quick to condemn
based upon a data sheet rather than trying it out.

Some of us have heard highly distorting systems with massive bass humps
before. We don't need to listen to another one to know we won't like it.

Right - but to condemn without a proper evaluation isn't good. TO say,
soberly, that based upon the measurements, you aren't likely to like it.

But as they say, there is not such thing as bad publicity - and we are all
being inadvertant promoters of Stereophile and TAS!
