It was more specifically the Crown Studio Reference. It was awesome, back them. I have not heard a GAN amp in my system yet. I have tried other class D, none which did anything new I do not have with my current collection of amps. As I enjoy class A, and I enjoy mosfets, I am sure there will be one coming my way ( Ralph, are you listening ? ). I am behind Wolf in the line....MrD.
We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often
Sorry I know this is a bit of a rant, but come on people!!
Too many audiophiles find speakers which are hard to drive and... stick with them!
We need to reject hard-to-drive speakers as being Hi-Fi. Too many of us want our speakers to be as demanding as we are with a glass of wine. "Oh, this speaker sounds great with any amplifier, but this one needs amps that weigh more than my car, so these speakers MUST sound better..."
Speakers which may be discerning of amplifier current delivery are not necessarily any good at all at playing actual music.
That is all.

@jeffrey75 Since I've never said or alluded to anything like that statement I don't feel obligated to defend it either. I encourage you to read all of my posts, in addition to my original on this thread. |
Yes you completely missed the nuance I meant this with, and explained in depth later, and instead applied your own meaning to those words. Try reading the next three sentences also. It seems you are conflating my words with those of others who are making other, related points, which I am most certainly not. Further, I really appreciate the camaraderie you have shown me by immediately suggesting I don’t belong here and should be at ASR, regardless of how you interpreted my statement. That was really elegant and I’ll absolutely attempt to emulate your behavior when I interact with others going forward. |
