Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?

Geoffkit,

To answer your question directly, a videophile certainly would want to see the specs and any videophile magazine test results before purchasing. And while not determinative, I always review specs on speakers, amps, pre's, CDP's and DAC's as well as read reviews with measurements prior to binding, if for nothing else to see if there is an anomaly I should be listening for.

My point is -- the objective and subjective both count.

Total Harmonic Distortion - irrelevant. Frequency Response - irrelevant. Slew Rate - irrelevant. Channel Separation - irrelevant. Intermodulation Distortion - irrelevant.

clever clock....relevant???

I've had even the most agnostic audio enthusiasts be unsupportive of the fact that I love my Behringer ep4000 monoblocks. However, they would be my answer to this question (when paired with b&w n802). I've tried many brands and the Behringers are great. I just wish they were more expensive or had a better external case so that I would have some candy to go along with the musical presentation. However, I guess that's not really what its about and that is what has kept them in my equipment rack while 10 or more amps have come and gone.
