>You tested the Hafler which is a great power amp and David Hafler
has designed superb affordable amplifiers <Agreed.
>There is a reason studios like Abbey Road Studio do not use pro amps

>Have you tested or looked at Halcro?
Sometimes test specs are not enough
Actual listening and performance of the amp in real life situations
is proof in the pudding<Some of us have heard plenty of proof and plenty of tests to match.
>You cant compare the best QSC power amp to a Halcro either
Im talkin sonics here not power specs or noise floor specs<Actually, you can. Sonically.

Perhaps that they can afford them?
If I win the lottery I'll drive a Lamborghini or Bentley, or even a mundane Mercedes SLK if it's a 'small' payout. Until then I'll survive with an Acura. It's one thing to make recommendations based on a money is no object basis, another entirely for the rest of us.

If I remember, they were given to them. Same with B&W loudspeakers. It is called marketing.
Oh, and I forget to mention that we compared last week-end a Classé CA-M400 versus the best from Crown. No discernable difference. We swith the Crown to a gainclone. The gainclone was the winner hands down. More dynamic, better imaging, better micro dynamics, more resolution.
What loudspeakers were you doing your tests with? Bose?
:)
I am kidding on that but I am curious what loudspeakers you were
using to AB
Those chip amps are great for bi-amped little studio monitorsNational semiconductor has a real winner with those chip designs
This is the loudspeakers:http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/3730802/2007/2/5/ENCEINTE_UNE.jpg
Ok they look like they would give an accurate presentationI noted all the Classe gear in the backround
:)
At least, better than Bose's stuff! :-)
