[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8801118, member: 614752"] Yeah, well, when you make vague claims and then refuse to fill in details when pressed I feel that I'm being lied to and that's a hot button for me. Notice you still haven't posted up the damping factors of all of the shitty amps you claim to have researched and tested. I don't think you can get zero since that would require dividing by zero somehow. As far as what a very high output impedance amplifier looks like driving speakers you can look to the performance of tube amps. Output impedance of tube amps are extremely high and damping factors of those systems are typically low single digits. People generally think that tube amps sound pleasant. You're really trying to delve into taking Richard Clark's money territory here with all of this, nobody has yet because run within their limitations and EQ'd to be even nobody can hear the difference between two solid state amplifiers side by side. I'm pretty confident you can build a shitty sounding or unstable amp with a very low output impedance. Damping factor has nothing to do with that, nor does full bridge. MMats has been making 1/2 ohm stable full bridge amps for ages now and they seem really rock solid. Because there's a sucker born every minute and people assume that just because there's a higher price tag (and some big number in front of a 1970s meme spec) on a product they're justified in paying whatever sticker price. If you're ready to take Richard Clark's money it'll be an easy 10 grand for you if you can figure out how to hear the difference between two solid state amps. There are certainly some valid reasons to buy better built amps but played within their limitations and with EQ it's not that you're going to hear the difference. [/QUOTE]
