Default the are only two kinds of amplifiers

va boat or a
Falco!
======================================
Threshold? I never even heard of Threshold 20 years ago. Of course,
folks like McIntosh made absolute crap 20 years ago, correct?


Folks like McIntosh made what they have always made, attractively
packaged, great specs, relatively low build cost, basically high
feedback Class B PA-style amplifiers.


Klipschhorns, and the like I never cared for personally. I never heard a
one with what I felt was accurate, clean reproduction. They all sounded
colored to me. Sure, I've heard of people doing all sorts of mods to
them, but really, what's the point? Wouldn't it be better, and easier
to just buy a speaker that does things right in the first place?


Many people feel that Klipsches do things the right way, particularly
in the mid to upper bass regions. They have used phenolic diaphragm
horn drivers which were okay forty years ago but have been drastically
improved on.
