The *ideal* amplifier has no sound of its own, and no amplifier is
ideal.
However, for many years now, amplifiers come awfully close to the
ideal, and
consequently, except for the nittiest of nit-pickers, I subscribe to
the
view that no (half-decent) amplifier has a sound of its own, and
consequently all sound the same.

Certain conditions apply, like operation below clipping into loads for
which
the amplifier was designed, using music signals.

I've noticed that the Audiolab's I've got are rather boring in that
respect;!.


If 'tonally grey' (not my words) cuts it for you then you have my
blessing - enjoy!




As are the ESL's..no fun at all.. Perhaps I ought nip over to Keith
and
see if he's any spare horns I could prise off him at a decent price



If I had a pound for everyone who's been here, heard my 'horns' and gone
off and got them himself, I could almost afford to buy a CD....
