RE: Luxman and original Quads a good combo?

well, I'll be! Hi Tim,

I'm just skeptical that those units are doing this into a dynamic 'R' load

most, if not all of the mfg's measure into a static load plus derate the output at 8ohms so they can claim doubling into half that

there was a lot of chatter on forums about that marketing ploy a few years back ... but if you've seen the measurements up close and personal I'll not quibble about it ... I'm of the school of thought that a fairly consistent voltage output across dynamic loads better reflects an amps ability to drive difficult speaker configurations without 'strain' ... they pull this off in auto sound and a few pro products but as far as fidelity goes? dynamics seem to suffer for some reason ... maybe it's the utilization of monster capacitance so audio quality is strapped to cap quality ... there's certainly ongoing debates about that thorn on the rose

thanks for the reply, quite a surprise! hope you and yours are well
