I suspect no... I have a big newer Crown CTs 600 (that in the interest of full disclosure, is now for sale as I no longer need it) set up with the mono input panel. These beasts are very powerful and "fast" driving subwoofers and seem to never run out of oomph. There is some sort of dynamic level control that senses when the output stage is getting too close to its safe operating envelope and attenuates the input, but I never sensed any weirdness in the dynamics from that. Would I want one set up for stereo to drive my Thiels? Probably not, I never used it that way. Is it a poor-mans Krell? I don't think so. I do know that used within its capabilities it delivers humongous power for reasonable prices. [Isn't that "to wit:" Socks!]

It ain't hard to be "fast" when you're talking about the longest waveforms in the audio spectrum.
:)
I guess what I mean is the amp has good control of the woofer cone movement. I associate that with hefty current delivery. I'm not sure you can hear an absolute correlation between damping factor and good subwoofing, but the two must go hand-in-hand.
A sub is much more like an electric motor than a violin, I agree. But a woofer that is not well-controlled sounds like beating on a cardboard box, rather than a kettle-drum. That's fast" to me ;-)
