of which you speak...
All the AB / high feedback amps sound like they are generating bursts of noise along with the sound, up in the 6 kHz range. It causes IMMEDIATE "turn it DOWN!" reactions.
may also relate to its ability to render low level resolution. The worst example in my experience is the AR integrated amp. It was designed to run full tilt into a pair of power hungry AR-3as. When the level drops, however, the sound quality falls apart. Another amp that generally sounds good, but is subject to this same limitation is the Conrad-Johnson MV-75a. Never harsh like your example, but at low levels it has a blanket over it. When using an amp for tweeter only duty, you are likely never running more than one watt at peaks.
I have an old Threshold Stasis, however, that resolves all the way down to the signal floor. I suspect the Monarchy shares that ability.
