You tested the Hafler which is a great power amp and David Hafler
has designed superb affordable amplifiersThere is a reason studios like Abbey Road Studio do not use pro amps
to master with
They use Classe amps...Have you tested or looked at Halcro?
Sometimes test specs are not enough
Actual listening and performance of the amp in real life situations
is proof in the puddingEver hear of Dartzeel?
In the pro world you cant compare a Behringer to a Neve console can you?
You cant compare a Mackie to a PM3000
You cant compare the best QSC power amp to a Halcro either
Im talkin sonics here not power specs or noise floor specsI know there are guys here that will argue with me on this stuff
and thats ok....

Perhaps that they can afford them?
If I win the lottery I'll drive a Lamborghini or Bentley, or even a mundane Mercedes SLK if it's a 'small' payout. Until then I'll survive with an Acura. It's one thing to make recommendations based on a money is no object basis, another entirely for the rest of us.

If I remember, they were given to them. Same with B&W loudspeakers. It is called marketing.
Oh, and I forget to mention that we compared last week-end a Classé CA-M400 versus the best from Crown. No discernable difference. We swith the Crown to a gainclone. The gainclone was the winner hands down. More dynamic, better imaging, better micro dynamics, more resolution.
What loudspeakers were you doing your tests with? Bose?
:)
I am kidding on that but I am curious what loudspeakers you were
using to AB
Those chip amps are great for bi-amped little studio monitorsNational semiconductor has a real winner with those chip designs
This is the loudspeakers:http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/3730802/2007/2/5/ENCEINTE_UNE.jpg
Ok they look like they would give an accurate presentationI noted all the Classe gear in the backround
:)
At least, better than Bose's stuff! :-)
