  Agreed. The Samson is an inexpensive amp. It should not be a shock that when played through a quality speaker it sounds inexpensive. A good speaker deserves a good amp. Whether it's an 'audiophile' amp or a 'pro' amp matters not, a good amp will always sound good.

    Dear Sirs,

    I would like to thank you very much indeed for your extremely kind and valuable support.
    Anyway what beats me is that the Samson does appear a nice and well designed power amp overall.
    I mean, it sports:
    1) a transformer of about 500VA ;
    2) two 63V/10000 microF primary caps;
    3) two pairs of high current Toshiba bjts for channel.
    Nevertheless IMHO it fails at powering adequately the Dynaudio woofers.
    Do you think that a caps upgrade could improve things?
    I see sometimes caps upgradings offered as an option on other brands.
    May be with two 20000 microF computer grade caps.

    Anyway thank you very much indeed again.

    Kind regards,

    beppe61
