Does this mean you didn't read the article by Dick Pierce on Damping factor?

For an expalnation of why damping factor is a pretty meaningless
specification, I refer you to:
http://www.diyspeakers.net/Articles/...G%20FACTOR.pdf


I just glanced over the article, and it seems that what Richard Pierce
writes about isn't in contradiction with what I wrote.
He discusses the effect (or seemingly, lack thereof) of damping factor
on loudspeaker behaviour, something I don't disagree with.

My post was about the mechanism in an amplifier behind obtaining high
damping factors, and what can be learned about the amp design by
measuring it at various frequencies, with various loads and with
various signal levels.

I'll have to read it more carefully, but it seems that mr. Pierce and
I are not disagreeing, we're merely discussing different things.

When a thorough read of the above article would cause me to revise my
opinion about what I wrote earlier, I'll post it here.

Thanks again for this link!
