Some amps do have more SLAM! I can personally vouch for this and

it! and it can be measured accurately and scientifically with a db Meter

a seismograph.

If you take a big Krell or McIntosh and throw it on the ground it will
produce allot of slam, but if you take a wee Cyrus and throw it on the
ground the same way it produces way less slam. this can easily be
measured.
On the other hand, if you take a Cyrus and launch it from a trebuchet it
can
produce more slam than the krell dropped from head height.

Slam is what happens when two objects collide. It's to do with velocity x
mass / d (density of arrival surface) = s (slam) = energy expelled
during
impact

I recommend the trebuchet method for launching if you want to test out
your
own equipment. subs are the most fun.

Stew.

I've seen an upright piano thrown by trebuchet, and I can vouch
personally for the truth of your theory!

Would that be the 'Grand Slam' then?


Krell testing by trebuchet ensures a perfect ground connection ;-)
