Interesting observations. Thanks Dave. But how can that be reconciled
with the all amplifiers sound the same argument? :-)

I've not tried the A21 in any version, nor can I recall anyone
claiming
that, "All amplifiers sound the same".


You either have a poor or a very selective memory, Jimbo - or you
perhaps were wise enough not to read all the posts from a former
subscriber here (the Roseate One) who frequently made the claim (as he
slid further into what appeared to be an AV/can't be arsed with 'audio'
vegetative state) that all amplifiers did more or less sound the same
with the preconditions that they were 'good', solid state and cost 300
UKP or more.


Just that some/many may be
indistiguishable in appropriate use. :-)


That's a different thing entirely - my view was always that the 'all
good amps sound the same' claim always depended on the other kit with
which they were/are being used. Interesting though, that the maggies
seem to lack no evidence to support their views that 'this amp' sounds
like this and 'that amp' sounds different on different material &c. ??


But in this case the differences
in the output impedances of the two amps might perhaps produce
different
frequency responses with a load like the 57.


There ya go for starters...
