Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: You are missing the obvious

A valid point, Tony. Of course one cannot discount that possibility; however, I have found that if things were working well before and the change is only the amp then one can be at least pretty sure that the problem is either with the amp or the speaker/amp interaction.

If you choose an amp with a high output impedance and match it with a speaker that has a wild impedance curve then you may not really be sure what you will get.

However, the issues I am talking about don't relate to FR or other linear system killers. The distortions that ruin sound usually come through regardless and imprint a "character" on the sound that is unnatural once noted. This signature will be heard regardless of what else is in the chain.
