The fact you think watts are audible just tells me you aren't prepared to discuss this topic rationally. Ideally, your amplifier is completely transparent, adding no coloration (audibility) to the reproduction. Unless you are talking about the even-order harmonic distortion that tubes add, which a purist would say 'shouldnt' be there either.

The difference between a good and a bad amp, generally speaking, is not how its watts sound, as a watt is merely a measure of power. The difference is in speaker cone control (damping), transient response (affected by the power supply mentioned earlier), ability to output rated power within a guideline of THD, etc. To simply talk about good and bad watts, or continually compare pyramid with top-end equipment, is to over simplify the discussion to an absurd level. I thought Id gotten that point across with my initial sarcastic one-liners, I guess it hasn't sunk it yet for everyone.

If that's a reference to my dictionary-like memory, thankyou. If its suggesting Im stating elementary points, Id have to wonder why you seemed to need it explained to you. If you want to have a serious discussion about what you think your watts sound like, Id be glad to. Otherwise, your sarcastic 'heaven' comment just shows you'ce reached the limits of your knowledge on the subject. It happens, we cant all be awesome like you think I am.
