You are so dense soundmind. My point about damping factor has nothing to do with woofer control!! Besides the frequency response variations with a damping factor of greater than 10 are small enough that many other factors are much more important. Look at the audioholics article on it if you don't believe me.My point about damping factor is that it indirectly shows that the feedback is losing its "corrective" power when the damping factor drops (one of the main features of negative feedback being a lower output impedance). The subsequent rise in HF distortion also points this out.
As to whether I would like the amp...I doubt it because I don't like the sound of many many amps so statistically it is at a disadvantage.
