New amps

@whataboutbob1 yes! Emphatically yes. 

Most of the time, the answer is yes.

For this reason also I no longer believe in swapping a component out and seeing which is better. Living with a piece and trying to design the system with it in mind helps to further uncover its strengths and weaknesses to the rest of your system.  

True, lately we were experimenting with different Bryston power amps on same PMC speakers and with every amp change speaker positioning had to be altered slightly. I guess with a completely different voiced amp altering the positioning would be a tad more than that. Same scenario with power and speaker cables.

Normally when we find the spot for certain speakers in the room every change in positioning due to a component change would be small but still it is a change.

I just tried a new amp and I had to move the speakers to maximize its performance, but I am back to my Classe Delta Stereo now. No Hegel H30 for my main system.

@tony1954 Too funny!  That's the best response ever!  I've frequently and almost invariably had the same response ... new, better amp? Got to get new speakers!
