[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 2646663, member: 560358"] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor[/URL] Some argue that DF as low as 10 is good enough to drive a speaker well. In the Wiki, there is a note that Nelson Pass and others claim there is a way to drive speakers with DF = 0. Marketing literature tells you that you need DF = a million to drive a speaker well. lol Since most good amps already gave a DF of a few hundred, then it's safe to say those amps have more than enough to do the job. Sometimes high DF is a byproduct of an over engineered design. [/QUOTE]
