RE: Why the added complexity?

Do you have a spare tire in your car? Or at least a tire inflator of some sort? A lug wrench and a jack? Do you consider that excessive complexity? After all, if you used solid rubber tires you wouldn't need all that stuff.

Since an amp designer has little control over what his amp gets hooked up to don't you think it's wise to consider the consequences of what happens outside the amp? Or that the amp has issues (the smoking .039 uf capacitors I've seen have all been in amps that weren't in the best shape). Have you ever had a speaker wire come loose? In the real world things like that can happen...

Stu took no chances in his amp!
