"The ZEROs are autotransformers that reduce your amp's output voltage in order to reduce its output impedance. You would have less voltage gain with ZEROs, but more current drive capability"Makes sense, but I am a bit unclear.
"We can give you good advice, but we have to understand your problem a little better. "
I can give you any info you want that I didn't disclose in my 1st post.
When it comes down to it listening to my metal music w/ high volume...or the better way of explaining it was with Bethovens 5th, 3rd movement (ends very quietly w/ plucked strings) then the 4th which erupts with horns, strings etc.. and all the music become sucked in...meaning...loss of soundstage (shrinks) and 'muddy' sounding notes. All of which lead to lack of power in my experience. Yet Mark from Rogue Audio says he has people happy w/ the amps running 3.6's. How can this be?Jon
