Re: I'm just not sure about one thing

In JA's opinion, my speakers are not particularly difficult to drive. Are you seriously trying to maintain a Quad 606 can't handle them?

"Its not all about FR. I have done experiments where I made equalization curves for different amps to the same target. The amps still sounding drastically different...not just slightly different but the difference between finding the music interesting and boring (talking strictly about acoustic music here)."

How closely did you equalize the FR of the different amps? What controls did you use? What were the blind test results?

I could ask the same questions about your comments on distortion. Do you have audibility data?

I've never heard the Wilson X-1 Grand Slamm. Collom's displays are quite different from JA's, I must say. The FR results in Stereophile don't look all that bad, though Colloms' curves are more smoothed than JA's, and the dispersion isn't bad, either.
