LOL! He didn't get MY vote :thumbsdown:

Hi Mike!, Well....i haven't really pushed it to the absolute limit yet. I have found that near the top end of my listening levels the meters on the amp appear to be very close to the redline, so I'm assuming I'm running out of power. I don't know enough about it yet to be able to interpret...

Huh?

"The Dirty South" is right! Trouble maker! Thanks, Dana...I appreciate the support. :)

Hmmmm? I can never tell if Chu's responses are POSITIVE or NEGATIVE!?!?!? :)

Sorry to dredge this thread up but... I just bought an Audiosource Amp One off of ebay, 80wpc into 8ohms , 20Hz-20000kHz w/ .04%THD. Even though the Onkyo TX-SR797 at 100wpc, blah, blah, 08%THD sounded the best of all receivers I have owned/tested I can DEFINITELY tell the difference with this...

Yeah....ales are definitely more robust tasting and not as smooth and yes, it does take a little getting used to. Try drinking some India Pale Ales for awhile. When you get used to those you won't even notice the Sierra Nevada bitterness, which is a little high for a Pale Ale. In fact, many...

Yo! Let's here it for $9.99 Sierra Nevada 12-packs!

You would think that given similar power and distortion levels that they would sound pretty much the same. Receivers, on the other hand, have preamp sections which could contribute something to the sound. Although the preamp section is supposed to be transparent I have read reviews which stated...

Excuse me gents...I believe you are off topic. The subject has now changed to beer and ear wax build-ups. :D

Hey Chu...that beer looks mighty pale although it appears to have pretty good BODY to it!

"so what did you start the post for?" Because I thought it was ludicrous for someone to say that no one can tell the difference between a $200 receiver and a $12000 pair of monoblocks. "He doesn't take shots at someone's choice of a Kenwood, or an Onkyo." Unlike some people. "A shot...

Yes...please tell us what criteria this amp met to receive the pleasure of ransackling your bank account. And these are just your fronts you say? Pray tell, what other extravegances adorn your humble abode? I can hardly wait to see what Chu's system consists of. He's been conspicuously silent...

"I use a Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature for my front mains (actively biamped, so they use 4 channels). It puts out plenty of power (it never sounds the least bit strained), it runs cool, it's not overly heavy for such a powerful amp, it looks nice, and it was reasonably priced. I listening to it...
