[QUOTE="adam71, post: 422290, member: 549079"] Let me ask you a question....Do head units all sound the same? Do all speakers sound the same? NO they do NOT. I believe all amps sound different than one another. Others may disagree with me but I could care less. In my opinion an amplifier by one mfg leaves a "sonic signature" on the sound it amplifies. One may sound brighter than the other or one may be a little bass heavy. You may not be able to differentiate between the 2 in a "blind test" and quite frankly that wouldn't matter to me if I could or not. Picking an amp is the same as picking a set of components or subs or a head unit or even an eq or x-over. If all components reproduced everything without changing the sonic characteristics of the signal then ALL amps or any components would be equal. But they don't so therefore they are NOT equal. Instead of picking an amp based on power output, people should listen and pick based on the sound. You could even make the same argument on rca interconnects making a difference in the sound, which I whole-heartedly agree that they do sound different. A pair of the same build and quality and price may not have much of a difference but you take a $90 pair of Monster Cable interconnects and do an A-B comparison with a $5 no name pair from Wal Mart and the difference would be very noticeable. I guess thats all I have on this subject. Adam [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
