[QUOTE="wesleysh, post: 265870, member: 542712"] The problem is Doug is saying that a JL amp puts out stronger and smoother sound than a JBL. He doesn't realize it makes no sense. His statement still relies on the theory of an amp having more "quality" watts than another. He's just saying it another way and not realizing it. Its like saying that Consumers Energy gives me better lighting in my house than Energy America. Power is power. The difference is MAYBE Consumers has less problems with their equipment or something of that nature, thus enhancing their reliability thus making them the better option. That's really the issue here. The fundemental flaw is believing an amp is more important than it really is, or can do things that it can't. Music can only sound the way it sounds, it can't sound "better" than the original recording. Anything that is changed from the original recording is considered distortion, even if you prefer the way it sounds. If it is recorded like crap, than a "perfect" stereo will reproduce it to sound just like crap.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] So you can only judge an amp by what it DOESN'T do to the music, it technically can't DO anything. We all know of people that believe in magical wires. I remember going to my uncles house and he was so happy his new cables for his home stereo had come in. They were $2,500 used. All they did was went from the source unit to the amp and he swore out they made a difference in the sound (they were not a different size than his previous cables, just a different brand). He has a $60,000 stereo, with of course amps that have magical watts, oops, I mean STRONGER and SMOOTHER watts.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
