Russ,You asked a very good question of AJinFLA, i.e. Why look at tube guy’s gracious offering as a challenge and need to defend your position when it could, instead, be a door to a new friendship and an enlightenment of your audio hobby?
As you've probably noticed by now AJinFLA doesn't want to learn anything new because he thinks he already has all the answers. I quite graciously (at first) offered him to hear a system based on a very highend and well respected integrated SET amp, the Mastersound Reference 845. In response to my generous offer AJinFLA did nothing but insult & berated me and then disparage my choices in audio components. Here's just one of his comments about my amp...
"Every one of those SET pieces of junk that I have heard have sounded awful. Just don't ask their owners. Their feeble, clock radio output requires ridiculous compromises in speaker design. No thanks. The 40 or so watts of your Mastersound *might* hack it for my tweeter or super tweeter amps in a pinch."
Did you notice how he responded to your well intentioned response of how to audition a single audio component like an amp? Everyone knows the end result of an audio system is a gestalt of the components used. However everyone also knows that if you listen to a system for an extended time you'll know how it "sounds!" Then when you change ANY one component, which in this case would be an amp, after changing it you listen again & the changes heard (if any) would be attributed to the different component installed. Thus you'd have a good idea of the "sound" of that component!
Granted it would be best to use that amp in 2 or 3 different systems to make sure there isn't a mismatch in one of the systems. But that's the way most, if not all people determine the "sound" of a single component.
To hear AJinFLA whine about how heavy his QSC amp is (I went online and their heaviest amp I could locate was the ISA800Ti at 63LBS! Most weigh in at around 21LBS) as opposed to my 135LB amp is just one more way he's using excuses not to have his QSC seen for the horrible sounding amp it is. Like you said, it's a good subwoofer amp, but that's it.
Russ just keep watching AJinFLA's posts and you'll soon discover he just likes to argue with those who use tubes. Heck he doesn't even really argue, because that would imply discussing something. AJinFLA doesn't really do anything but constantly berate the people who disagree with his audio religon and then disparge their audio components. In any event, now you know.
I look forward to having you over one day...
