In Reply to: What makes an amplifier have a deep soundstage? posted by Doughter on March 28, 2007 at 05:38:14:
HI All,
I don't think there is one single answer. Furthermore, if an amp delivers a consistently deep stage, I count that as a problem. Why is this?In my view, the most important characteristic of a hi fi system is the lack of signatures. Since all recordings are different and project a different soundstage, an amp that consistently gives depth is often violating the recording. This is a signature that will show up in many other ways. Therefore, I don't think of great amps as depth producers. Instead, a great amp should give what the recording gives, not more.
Thus, a great amp will produce a soundfield according to the information on the recording, the listening room, the associated equipment, and the basic ability of the overall system to reproduce very low level detail (the recorded reverberation field). That's my take.
