I agree to an extent. ur right on the features of the amp helps. a little. But as many many people say ur not gona notice an audible difference between a JBL amp and a Mcintosh amp.You mistook what i was sayin capone....i'm not saying any of those amps are "crappy"...what i AM saying is that he needs to make sure that it's going to do his 13 W7 justice...i could name a FEW amps at this point in time that would make that 13 sound like total ****. So no need to get defensive man. I am saying that he needs to make sure that what he gets will benefit him to the fullest. Sure he can go out and buy a 5000watt amp, but how GOOD would that amp make his w7 sound? it could be all good for puttin up those hi SPL marks, but what about everything else? How well can the amp perform under intense heat? How good is the amp's x-over...you know, little crap like that that adds up. i'm not calling anything crappy, just making sure he remembers to check ALL the features before he buys.
