[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 7120592, member: 617319"] Odd, because I performed the same tests as you did in my house, but hooked up to different speakers (Infinity Reference Standard 2.5's), and my results confirmed the exact opposite. Every amp I tested sounded different, some to greater extents then others. I compared them all at I would assume around 10-50wrms each (based on the volume, not a bench). In other words, it was not an EXACT comparison of sound level, but close enough to make no difference. I set all the gains at half and the crossovers at full pass. I am a FIRM believer that different amps sound different. Maybe it's because of how revealing my speakers are (google "Infinity RS 2.5" and I'll think you'll understand what I mean), but still. Every amp I have tested, given that all of the amps I have ran for the most part are high quality o/s amps, has its own unique characteristics. The biggest differences I was able to note was the obvious THD, and the less obvious separation, imaging, coloration, and warmth/brightness. [/QUOTE]
