Everyone seems to agree that the EFB mod sounds good at high volume levels near clipping. How does the lower operating point at idle affect the sound quality at low levels?

Everyone? I've never read that before. Can you provide a few links?

As I've posted before, I could never stand the sound of an SCA-35. It was like someone threw a wet blanket over the speakers, in other words, dull.

The EFB mod didn't "transform" the sound of the amp, but it certainly improved it for me. As for it only offering improvement at full power, my main amp is a First Watt F1J, which is 10 WPC. I'm not regularly clipping that amp, so I doubt I'm getting anywhere close to the EFB modded SCA-35s 17.6 WPC. It sounds better to me than the stock amp did, and that's at any volume.

  Apparently you misunderstood my question. How does the lower operating point at idle affect the sound quality at low levels?
