Um... get with the program. This thread is a cross-posted unabashed
troll covering well-plowed, entirely exhausted ground without even a
scintilla of revealing, even useful information.

Is it any surprise that it brings out the crap-peddlers and bull****
artists? Those preaching revealed religion and those espousing their
closely-held-beliefs? The pretenders and the poseurs?

I keep a Citation 16 and a Dynaco 416, two of the most brutish of
brute-force amps ever produced at the consumer level - and I find it
quite easy to drive either to clipping on certain passages at not-
quite-headbanging volume. Those who do not understand the power-curve
will _never_ get that sort of thing, and actually believe that a 60-
watt amp is twice as powerful as a 30 watt amp... Draw your own
conclusions.
