Would you change your amp selection knowing...?


OK - so this thread was promted by some comments on another thread - not wanting to hijack that thread I created this one...

ISSUE: some high current designed amps have an issue with speaker cables that have a high capacitance.
- the amp can be driven to self destruction because of internal oscilation caused by the high capacitance of the speaker cable
- this does NOT apply to Tube amps - i.e. to my knowledge

The amps I know of that are affected in this way are Ayre, Gryphon and NAIM
- only NAIM warns of this up front AND instruct their dealers to let customers know about it

So why don’t other brands warn about the possibility?

QUESTION:
- would it put you off?
- would you select a different amp if the manufacturer warned of this "issue" up front?

Cheers

Zobel network seems a solution to a deliberate  poor cable design so consumer pays more than once
Factual equivalent of alpha core with zobel is just simple power wire half buck per foot

Because someone told me when I bought the Odyssey that the Goertz cables can possibly make the amp oscillate.  I didn't own Goertz so it wasn't an issue.
I own a Bryston amp. After getting to listen to a pair of quality mono block  amps, I would have saved some extra money to purchase a pair.
The point about ESL speakers and the significant capacitive load, as compared to the load from the cable, they present to the amplifiers has been mentioned twice and I see no explanation as why amplifiers seem to be able to suck that (load) up without self destruction. what gives?
@unsound re:...
and know that I use a wide bandwidth ss amp with high capacitance speaker cables
Which amp and which cables - I'm curious 8-).

Thanks
