That’s a good question. On the surface it looks like it should be very important. The higher the DF the better the sounds would be a reasonable assumption.
Who wouldn’t want better control of the bass drivers? Wouldn’t that yield tight and accurate bass? While I’ve never purchased an amp based on dampening factor, I do have a couple Rotel amps which are listed as being 1000. Adcom is another brand that list high on the DF scale.
That being said, there are lots of very good amplifiers that have DF in the 100-200 range so maybe it’s a situation where anything over 100 is overkill?
