It taught me an important lesson early on

Just because an amplifier sounded good at high levels, it did not necessarily follow that it could do as well at low levels, which seemed counter-intuitive to me at the time. It took longer for me to fully grasp another lesson - an amplifier that did well at the frequency extremes didn't necessarily shine in the midrange. Huh?

I experienced both seeming paradoxes simultaneously when I borrowed a friend's Conrad-Johnson MV-75a amplifier and compared it to my Threshold Stasis 3. The CJ bettered the Stasis in the midrange with more focus, but didn't do as well at the extremes. And, like the AR Integrated, fell apart at low levels - a characteristic at which the Stasis excels.
