Hello, Lee. I was thinking more in terms of him making sure that the incoming power was clean and up to snuff in order to properly power them, placement and making sure that the amplifiers performed the way they should. Possibly assisting the customer with suggestions or placement/isolation tweaks known to them in order to achieve the best possible sound from the amplifiers.

You were probably close to 100% correct, though. I was just curious, is all. Thanks.

I have heard the 2050 monos with the Focal Grande Utopia EM at RMAF 2009. The sound to my ears was ok but nothing special. Considering the price of this system I was disappointed. Price clearly isn't everything. The other system I heard was at Sounding's in Denver the same year during the show. At Sounding's they were using the 2060 stereo amp to drive Vienna Acoustics Flagship Die Musik speakers. This system had an all Bolder front end. Same problem here. It sounded a little slow and congested. After awhile they substituted the 2060 for a Jeff Rowland 302 stereo amp. The rest of the system stayed the same. Now all the reservations I had with the sound disappeared. The sound was faster and more open. Everyone else in the room seemed to agree. Now maybe the 2060 are not a good match for the Vienna's or I just don't get the sound of the Boulder amps. The rest of the Boulder gear sounded very good.

Now I realize these are show and dealer conditions but that is what I percieved.

I have heard the 2060 and was very impresssed...not my favorite, but extremely impressive. I believe that they require a 30-amp outlet...perhaps that is why they sounded congested/constrained? I have heard of bigger amps tripping breakers at shows.

That is quite possible. It did not trip the breaker while I was there. I'm not sure how long the 2060 had been there or if it was broken in yet. I remember that someone brought in a bigger power cord for it just before I left.

I am not in the market for one but I would like to hear them a couple more times before I pass judgement.
