They have letters from men, they are engineers. I know not if they are
"registered" what ever that means. Not much emphasis seems to be placed upon
analogue these days in the schools, or at least that is what they tell me.

" No, you misunderstand the basics here, as the *impedance* of the load
will vary dramatically in the bass region, thereby affecting how much
power is required for a given SPL. It is therefore a moot point
whether the load will require more amps or more volts at any
particular frequency."

Someone sure is misunderstanding someone here... If you claim that an IC
gives you more bass, sure you can compare the current in the 2 ICs, but the
only way to know would be to filter out the low frequencies where it is said
they are hearing more bass, and see if there is in fact more current flow
there.

though not more voltage as it cannot demand voltage, from the source.

I work
with a LOT of EE types, it does not mean they understand electronics, the
ones I work with know PLC's, 4-20 loops PID loops, etc, but not
electronics.
That is why I often find myself correcting them on this very issue. It is
not that they are stupid, it is just that this is not their area of
expertise.

Excuse me, but if they are registered professional *engineers*, they
certainly *should* know electronics. You seem to be describing C&I
technicians, which is a different matter entirely.
