[QUOTE="chillin, post: 7123710, member: 573057"] The whole point of the RC test is that with quality amps that have low thd and do the same power, they will sound the same when setup properly. Not when setup with all gains set to half. Pyramid would not be included in a test as a 1000 watt amp because it has distortion from 150 watts up. First off the amps have to be clamped to have the exact same output, not half gain. Have you ever heard of the fletcher-munson curves? Basically humans hear less low high frequency when amplitude is low. So if you are setting up all your amps with half gain and one of them is more sensitive than the others, it will probably have a little more output which will add more high and low freq to whatt you percieve and you will think it sounds warmer. Also setting your amps at half could be clipping them which would also colour your sound. [/QUOTE]
