[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 7120753, member: 617319"] Yeah, this too. But I still can pick all my amps out with under 50% of their power being dealt out. In case I didn't already say so before, all the amps I tested were hooked up to the exact same source, pre-amp, wires, etc. Gains at 50%, full pass, same relative volume. I have an mp3 cd with about 100 songs on it, 75% of which I have on there for the sole purpose of identifying the characteristics of an amplifier/speakers/whatever I am A/B testing. I play short clips of the identifying parts of each of those 75ish songs on every amp I test. I have done this with well over 10 different amps (and even more speakers, but that's a different story). When asking others how they think their amp sounds (if they have the same one that I have tested), their conclusions are startlingly similar. Such has happened on more than one occasion. If you still don't believe me, that's your own loss. Enjoy your Pyramid and Kenford equipment. I'll be running my o/s Sony amps. Obviously I'm not doing that for the "Sony" name. It wouldn't be because of reliability either, because I have two of the same XM-700a's, and one is blown. I'll be running that series of amps because of how they SOUND [/QUOTE]
