I listened to a couple digital amps,far from pleasant sounds

I disagree - based on my experience. Some suck, some rock. Which suck... to my ear, can be heaven to yours. Good design is everything....IMHO.

2 different amps,sounded pretty good at first,at least thats what i thought ,after extended listening,it was obvious sound wise that this was going nowhere,I used Legacy speakers with the amps.

Yes Coffeey, very similar experience. I also have listened to a couple of 'digital' amps that were rather underwhelming. . . I have even listened to a couple of tube amps that were quite honestly terrible, and I have heard a couple of traditional SS amps that were rather painful to bear. . . my conclusions? try not to generalize from matched pairs of bad apples, or. . . quit audio and pick up Origami. G.

The thing is ,man i tried and i really ,really wanted them to work out,but that just wasnt the case,i wish i could get a answer as to why so many like them,and the hi fi critic mag couldnt justify them at all.The bass wasnt any better then a solid state amp, the highs sucked.Ive heard bad from different types of amps also,but digital just has other stuff going on thats just not right.
