[QUOTE="Breogan24, post: 422726, member: 553032"] I don't know if i could pass a blindfold test either, maybe it's just pyschological. I swear by my PPI Power Class amp. All amps have different specs, I think there is an art to having transistor configurations. I am no expert, but don't the different configurations make a difference in the linearity of the output -vs- what the input is. I mean all the amp is supposed to do is Amplify, but there are other factors along the way to reproduce the sound the EXACT same way it was input. For example take the frequency response of most amps, 20hz -20khz, yes this the audible range of human hearing. But my amp has a frequency response of something like 4.5hz-100khz. I read that this allows the music to be played easier by the amplifier. If you had to lift 100lbs, would you want a person that can lift up to 101lbs, or someone that can lift up to 1000lbs. I think that is what that reasoning is trying to prove. I think the next big concern is the law of diminishing returns. Maybe it's not MUCH more worthy to spend big bux on an amp, when a very similar, slightly inferior model will suffice. I know when i replaced my Clarion amp with my PPI amp the speakers played things i never heard before. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
