So let me ask you what is the big diff btwn a high end zapco type of
an amp and my MTX ? I looked at the specs and they are incredibly
underrated. THe amp comes with an actual test spec sheet with numbers
like 56w/channel x 4(4ohm) instead of the 25W it's rated at and THD at
.016 instead .1

The difference in sound? Well, if we're talking about a Zapco with
equivalent output power, there is no difference. I don't have the data to
be able to tell you which is the more reliable amp in terms of repair rate.
I've always had good luck in that respect with both amps. Very good luck in
fact.

Thanks for the info Mark, it's funny how one always assumes that the
more money something costs the better it sounds. Only thing I don't
mind spending the money on is the Dyns as I have heard nothing that
sounds as good as them (doesn't mean there aren't spks that do). The
highs are not harsh like Focals or most others I've heard and they
sound just amazing. Some may say they don't like these Dyns but to me
they are worth every penny as I just love them.

I was under the impression that if I don't spend a grand on an amp I
am somehow "robbing" these speakers of their potential. Seems that I
am mistaken and that maybe I shoud invest in a good EQ and sound
deadening rather than a new amp or xovers.
