Yes, they do.

No they B. don't. Another example, My Yamaha amp (recently retired)
always sounded hard and harsh to me, I purchased it from a box shifter
as it was a good price and I fancied a dabble with surround sound. On
swapping to the Av8/P7 the improvement in sound was staggering and it
mattered not which was played the loudest the AV8/P7 blew away the
Yamaha by a good margin.

So why would you describe the Yamaha as a "good" amplifier? Why not simply
conclude that it wasn't a satisfactory design (or had a fault)? - i.e. not
good at all...

Slainte,
