Re: what determines the "speed" of an amp?

209.179.250.22

Of course, you are correct in this, Steve. It doesn't change my calculations, however. Most amps, today, are fast enough. This was not true perhaps 20 years ago. Both Crown and Marantz then made large amps with slew rates of 5V/us. This could be a problem, but today amps are generally more than 50V/us. It has been my experience that 10-20V/us is a bit too low for best performance, but it is mostly because of other factors related to slew rate, not the slew rate itself that is responsible.
