aginst my better judgement, and because I don't want to duplicate posts amongst threads I'll reply here rather than onto the TEC TALK version of this.
well, that and because it just seems right to acknowledge those who took the time to voice thier EXP as it would be rude not to IMHO.

@atmasphere > ….Bandwidth, not power
Blindjim > for well over a decade now, Ralph, you have been a wealth of information. Now and then no various topics I’ve been under educated in and all of that input has been well received and I am totally grateful for acquiring. Sincerely. Thanks..
Bandwidth. really? Wow. I stand corrected. I had felt via EXP only with the application of low and mid powered amps with various speakers along my way, that the more HP an amp possessed, though perhaps not applied fully, kept the drivers on point better. I found this very true with BW speakers which I had a bunch of models along my early years and then being a member here.
Atmas > There is an issue here, the harder you make the amp work, the more distortion it will make. You can see this in the distortion vs frequency specs of all amplifiers. The distortion is audible too- in the form of increased brightness and hardness, caused by higher ordered harmonics to which the ear is keenly sensitive, as it uses them to sense sound pressure.
Blindjim > now here is where things may become confusing to me.
Almost invariably I’ve noticed in friends outfits, that some were noticeably IMO underpowered as the sound in the mids and bottom end was well, I’ll go with ‘soft’’ or fuzzy. Not to the point of most people’s notice, but to my own appraisal. Again, I came to this revelation by moving up in amp power rating and build quality as time passed so it was actually an incidental observation. Albeit, a valid observation no less.
As well, the mids and top ends previous to the increase and as well improvement to the amp via upgrade, resolved much if not all of the so called ‘brightness’ and or hard (flat) tones.
Indeed the overall presentation became more realistic, better mannered, and musically accurate.
I do hear things somewhat better than many from the lack of sight. Although, I’d say it is more a result of being forced to rely upon it and use it unlike most. It ain’t from being hit with gamma rays or contact with red kryptonite that’s for sure.
However, I’ll acquiesce to your point. Somewhat more now, though controlling the drivers starting and stoping repeatedly seems a consideration for accuracy in recreating any tone purely and IMO was an attribute of the EMF or from the output devices of the amp.
I’ve been mistaken before. Never wrong but now and then, mistaken.. no problem. It doesn’t hurt as much any more.

Many thanks for your ongoing interest and input. Really. Thanks a lot.

@inna
You are a true eye opener with the items you continue to bring to the table as options, choices, alternate paths and or insights. They are obviously ones I’d not have stumbled across alone. Huge thanks for these insights.
I’ll not try to meddle with you and Atmas obvious issue, but I’ve never seen Atmas post anything untoward or include his own products as an alternative path when he infuses his thoughts into a thread.
Perhaps, allowing other people to be other people might be a better tact, but then this is just something I’m obliged to pursue, no one else has to trod that road if they don’t want to.
Thanks Inna. Much appreciation.

@Kalali > Really interesting....
Blindjim > hmmm. It do get that way around here from time to time.
Personally I’ve learned a lot here today.
So long as I can learn something new each day it’s a good day. And everybody has something to offer. Always.
