In Reply to: Ok. Now here is the question. posted by AJinFLA on December 21, 2006 at 09:39:46:
When I listened, how would I isolate the "sound" of the Amplifier (which is what I am supposed to hear)...You can't. Russ already answered for me. I have chosen components for their ability to get out of the way. Which one sounds more like live, unamplified music? I believe that you must first "explore" a given system in order to understand its capabilities and limitations. A day's worth of listening to most any system really won't tell you very much other than provide an initial impression. You also need to know what to listen for.
I'll give you an example. Following one of you-know-who's latest rants, I revisited a test I've conducted many times in the past. I took my Behringer analog EQ and ran it full range with the Advent system. My experience has been that those kind of units affect the highest frequencies. I used a piece of music with a very clearly recorded bell that is struck. With the EQ in the circuit and run flat the bell "fattens", loses focus and some of the subtle decay. More mechanical. Not a night and day difference, but significant to me. I'll put it back in use with the HT subwoofers where it causes no harm.
