[QUOTE="zane, post: 408506, member: 540617"] Hrmm............................ So you are effectively stating that an amplifier has the ability to act intelligently in sorting out the information (music) presented to it on an instrument and vocal basis. Tell me, how does an amplifier determine what vocals are. What guitars are, what drums are, what bass is? Last I checked, amplifiers do not contain a CPU, or any programing in which to process and execute this theory. Funny, My Xtant amps (x1001 and a403) do not exhibit any audible differences in SQ over their previous PG amplifiers. ( R8.0:1 and R4.0:2). Nor is any audible difference observed in swapping to a JBL BP1200.1 and a Profile Baja 400. While there are several area's of the actual "Amp Challenge" that raise some question, it still has a solid outcome that no one has been able to disprove in blind testing such as you suggest. In short, I can perform a double blind amp test (again) and maintain a no audible difference outcome in contrast to your own suggested testing. I also believe that if your theory holds any truth, RC owes you roughly 10 grand for passing his amplifier challenge. May as well collect if you are certain that there is a difference. For all practical purposes, a watt is a watt. [/QUOTE]
