"One can build ANY wattage amplifier to the 18-20 db gain structure if he so chooses to do so, and successfully set up an audio system to use that structure to sonic advantage."So if a person has a situation where 1000 watts on peaks are needed and he uses an amplifier with 19db of gain, where will he get the 10 volts of input signal needed for that amplifier to produce 1000 watts?
I know of no source components that outputs 10 volts. So now, because of your rule, that person will need an active line stage preamp.
So now it can be said that Dennis clearly states that adding an active line stage preamp is a sonic advantage?
I know you don't believe that.
I think what a person would want is an amplifier with a gain and power rating that gives the power that's needed for the situation using only the output voltage of his source component without the need of additional active stages.
Doesn't that sound like a better rule?
