You earlier said that Phillip switched the mola mola amps out for different amps. Maybe I misunderstood you. So, Phillip played the system with mola mola amps and then switched to different amps in the same system?Like I said earlier, the Mola Mola's and most of the other Class D amps that I have heard, initially are quite impressive. It is only upon more extensive listening do the faults become quite obvious.
I have heard the Mola Mola's at both a show and at a private event. In both instances, the amps were upon first listen as stated...BUT after just a few minutes for me, I noticed the problems.

Third, where has the midrange gone in audio period???
Was it the Rowland 925? j/kActually, after Philip left, the group switched out amps. Interestingly, many in the group liked the Mola Mola's a lot. I was one of the few exceptions. Sorry, but i cannot remember what was the replacement, BUT IMO it was a LOT better.
that's not what you said here starting at 4:26 covering the "best of" no less:

Nowhere, if you know where to look (or listen). It's alive and well on vinyl played through AirTight Supreme, SME, Pass Class A amps and Magico.
I think you know my point
Actually Myles, I'm not sure. I don't listen to too many modern recordings. Are they missing midrange richness and sounding rather thin? What exactly do you mean? Since this thread is about Class A amplification, perhaps you are referring to the analytical sound of some contemporary electronics?

Perhaps, scooped-out in the loudspeaker/crossover

DaveyF,
You said about the $60,000 Rowland 925 Monoblocks, "I wouldn't be at all surprised if these are the best ss amps available today."

Do you still feel the same way about the 925?
Michael.
I am just sayin, class a is a biasing scheme, and class a amps all will have their own harmonic spray which some may hear better than others....
