[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8801244, member: 591582"] I think the Richard Clark stuff is dramatic. Idk what you mean by saying I have golden ears, because that’s definitely not the case, lol. All I’ve said is I can hear sound differences between some amps. Idk why, always, I just don’t know how to deny my senses 🤷♂️ I literally know someone (who’s bought designs for a decade) that had issues with the SFB 8k lol and switched to the Salt 8k, and his issues went away. That’s not even my opinion, that’s someone else’s. The system is a wall and also plays low 20 Hz and subsonic and runs various ohm loads, so that could very well have something to do with it. Some systems are more experimental than others, too. I’m not even a SQ person, not really at all, lol. The problems I’ve seen and heard of from amps tend to come from powerful & low playing systems, and I mean lows like below 28-30 hz. I know some people doing well over a 150 or some even over a 155 db in the mid to high 20’s. That’s where I’ve seen the biggest difference. I think the waveform period with low hz makes a huge difference in current draw inside of the amp, and the stresses become more extreme at full power, just like sound gets exponentially longer as you go down in frequency. Running 3000-6000 watts per woofer playing in the 20’s hz range or lower with massive coils and 40-50mm+ of xmax can really stress amps, it seems. If your amp works for what you’re doing, then it’s all good. [/QUOTE]
