Any benefit from" same brand" amp/pre-amp??

Is there any benefit from the amp and pre-amp being the same brand??? I am consdering separates, and like the Quad 99 series pre-amp. It does have a matching power amp, model 909, but bass is limited because of the bandwidth limits of its class D design. I have read about and considered an amp called the Odyssey Stratos. It gets very good reviews, but I do not know if it would be compatible with the Quad pre-amp. Thanks

'd' amps may be said to have problems with hi frequencies, especially with low impedance loads...at those frequencies. The output zobel is the cause.

Look up the info on the top B&O ASP 1000 module as used by Bel Canto and many others.

It's pretty much all done at 30khz, into 4 ohms.

LF problems? Tell that to literally dozens of Sub Makers!
