Excuse me?

Are you suggesting that should the two theoretical amps be connected
to
speakers and put the *exact same* voltages across them, that the

speakers
will respond differently?


Ian, I can swap between a decent Technics mosfet/bipolar power amp
(SE-A2000) and a pair of Dynaco Mk IIIs leaving everything else common
(record, deck, cart, phono stage, pre-amp, speakers, cables,

interconnects
) and a blind man could hear the difference whether you match voltages
SPLs or whatever. Trust me....


That doesn't surprise but then I bet they don't have identical specs

anyway.



Actually, blind men don't wear specs - they mostly wear shades......


You aobviously don't know very many blind men then.
