No where in audio except cables is there more confusion, trickery and deception than in amplifiers. At one point it was so bad the FTC had to step in and set standards.
Given the discussion in the "fear of measurement section" that properly designed amps working within their limits should sound the same, what should we look for.
I ask we try to avoid the tube vs solid state debate unless you have a specific narrow point to make.
To start things off why don't we talk about the load presented. On other threads we have discussed,speaker impedance, efficiency and a purely resistive load vs a reactive load.
