How close do the two sides actually get?

Are we now saying that the heavier an amplifier the better it will sound?

Chris

Bryston 28BSST2's (2 x 42kg) = 84.0kg

Behringer A500 = 8.8kg

Difference in SQ between the two amps is audible but not massive so I would say that the two are most definitely not related.

No.... The Devialet...... I rest my case m'lud.

Yes good point. Class D amplifiers (or class D hybrids) don't need to be heavy to be good.

Neither do class AB amplifiers if they also have switch mode power supplies.

True. 🙂

I knew I should have put a winking smiley emoticon after that comment about weight to show that it was (half) said in jest. 😉

Think we realised that steve and were just participating in your jolly jape.
