[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8063755, member: 576029"] the best way to match amp gains is with an oscilloscope that is monitoring the speaker output channels. for reference music, you need something that was well recorded. this is harder to find than you'd think because most stuff is poorly mastered and mixed. the late 80's was the height of analog recording and good dynamic range was realized. they had to pay very close attention and didn't use fancy processors. the early 90's suffered from low bit-rate processing and ushered in a new era of sound recording and mastering... but not for the better. in recent years, the abilitly to make good quality digital recodings is available, but not well implemented due to a change in listening habits (crappy earbuds with low bit-rate music). i have found that most of what i consider reference music, is music i don't normally listen to. you can get reference discs from Autosound 2000, IASCA, and Demo CD's [/QUOTE]
