Default Amps, more argument!


That I can agree with

I think if people dropped the "high end"/"low end" crap, then things would
become a lot clearer to them. I think the key thing for them to realize is
that manufacturer ratings are not uniform, and that always needs to be taken
into account. I think, however, that too often they draw the wrong
conclusions from that.

I can see that. I always stood by the idea of more power the better. I

just
think that people can get the wrong idea with this topic and think that a
low end amp is just as good as a high end amp in the same class. very
misleading.




The purpose is not a trivial one. Rather, it's in response to the COMMON
notion that there are significant differences in the signals reproduced

by
amplifiers by virtue of their name alone. Well, it's important to dispel
this myth because this factor influences many buyers' decisions. In

fact,
it even makes people buy the wrong amp sometimes, or spend considerably

more
money for no good reason. I've seen too many instances where someone

will
cast aside buying a 125x2 Orion, with all the crossover controls they'd

want
and at a great price, and instead buy a 30x2 Zapco because it "sounds
better".
