In this place, Arny Krueger was recorded saying ...

[.. snip ..]

The point is that AM distortion, which dominates and is relatively large in
speakers, and often pretty audible, is only present in good electronics in
far smaller quantities. Masking rules, we hear distortion in speakers far
more so than in non-clipping, non-noisy electronics.

Just a while ago Arny, you were proclaiming the awful sound of a coupe
of well known power amplifiers.

If speaker distortions so outweigh those contributed by electronics,
does that mean (a) that you can't, in fact, tell the difference between
two differing power amps connected to the same speakers or (b) that you
have joined the "golden ears" set? ;^)
