Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps?

I have to wonder what people are listening to or thinking when they label Class D or Icepower amps as "mid-fi". They must either be hearing something different than what I hear, have not heard a good setup, or perhaps just prefer a different flavor of sound. That is fine, but prefering a certain flavor does not mean that other established flavors are inferior.

Charles1dad - It is not being defensive but rather irritated with "All D amps suck" statements.

Charles1Dad,

If you read my first post, I stated that I chose the Spectron over three other well known SS amps. Personal preference to be sure, but I never bad-mouthed any amp or any person. Anyone on Audiogon who regularly reads Glory's posts and ads expects that kind of remark from Gary as being, just Gary. Tomorrow he may say that Class D amps are the best in the world.

If you read my second post, like Kijanki, I'm more irritated that someone, especially a dealer, has the audacity to tell Audiogon members that their system components are mid-fi, whether it is or isn't by somebody's definition.

If I hear a system, but think that mine is better, why would I risk hurting the audiophile's feelings bashing it? To flat out say what George (TheSoundHouse) said is just arrogant and demeaning.

kijanski and Krell man,
I understand your objections more clearly now. High End audio is hopelessly subjective and we all just like what we like. I love SET amps but realize they`re not everyone`s cup of tea.

Indeed I do sell a line of Class D amps. But that is not germane to my criticism of the Florida butthead.
If you believe all suck, perhaps a move to Florida is in your best interest.

Inexperience and ignorance reign supreme there. You'd fit right in.

Audio morons are alive and well in Florida.
