Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"

@hilde45

looks like you accidentally touched the ’on’ button 😅🤣

@jjss49 Nothing forcing me to read it. Others can decide if my point was fair. I didn't post in haste or anger. Annoyance, yes, but not in anger.

it is not an "accident".... it is not the first "warning" from him.... with this time a "diplomatic" insult....

Annoyance, yes, but not in anger.

if you were annoyed for the first time and without insulting my device which is pure science, i would not had react and i will have apologize like i have already.... But i am not the only one at fault here....

i have the right to answer someone else than you in a post by the way......

Others can decide if my point was fair.

To decide others must know that you warned me on a regular basis....But an insult is a bit too much for my temper... Sorry...

I am not a children to warn nor a clown to warn.... And learn acoustic to know the difference between a Rube Goldberg machine and a no cost Helmholtz resonator...


And before reacting against me in each thread think about my description of the powerful control someone could use with them to tune all acoustic features..... Study to learn if i am RIGHT or WRONG.... Spare me your paternal insult....Instead refute my claims with acoustic laws....

i cannot apologize for being too enthusiast, save if someone dont insult me and ask with humor....And i keep the right to answer SOMEONE ELSE post  at any time ....Are we free?

Gee I miss the rap and political discussions LOL

@hilde45 ,

You've provoked a very interesting conversation! 

As for the "well designed" ss amps that can reproduce depth well, IMHE, Krell older Class A designs, Pass Labs, Boulder, and more affordably Coda, Odyssey, First Watt and Sunfire all have models that I've heard do it pretty effectively when mated with appropriate speakers also capable of recreating depth. 
I'd say the chances are higher with a random tube amp vs. a random ss amp, but we're not investing our money in random, are we? 

Some of the rabbit holes discussed, speaker placement and room treatment are certainly worthwhile considerations and I'm glad to hear you've addressed them. I'm having a tough time buying into the concept of needing to REVISIT them due an amp change. 

An observation that might help, most mixes tend to place drums and bass toward the rear of the soundstage. Maybe certain ss amps that struggle with low end frequency performance in other aspects result in the perceived lack of depth?   Perhaps trying out tracks with an acoustic bass upstage would provide some insights. Cheers,
