Question for Amp Designers

" What in the design gives these two amps the above sound signatures?"

Have you heard this for yourself or are you going by what someone else said?    

" Yeah, too bad we can't get Julian Hirsch in here to answer this one!"

I'll answer for him.

"We put this amp through our most rigorous tests, and here's what we found out. 

For the first test, we pushed the power button. It passed with flying colors. The amp lit up like a Christmas tree.

The nest test was for sound quality. It passed with flying colors again. We know that all amps sound exactly the same, and this amp was no exception.

In conclusion, we give this amp our highest recommendation. It performed flawlessly during all of our tests. If you're looking for a state of the art amp, this is the one for you.

 

"Have you heard this for yourself or are you going by what someone else said?"

"I think its fair to say that we hear it all the time in the world of audio. "

Maybe. But if the OP was going by other people's comments and not by his own observation, then we don't know if the amps really sound like that. There may be no problem at all.

" But the OP has said both in this thread. In his initial post that posed the question and then with his own observations....

I’ve heard it with my own amps. I have 3 systems in my house and for some strange reason I Iike to swap out pieces to hear the changes."

That's not entirely true. In his OP, he words things in such a way that I couldn't tell if he actually heard the differences himself or was reading about them. That's why I asked the question in the first place. 

" Maybe. But if the OP was going by other people’s comments and not by his own observation, then we don’t know if the amps really sound like that. There may be no problem at all. "

Given that I wasn't sure if the OP actually heard the amps, its a legit comment. If he didn't make the observation himself, you can't be sure a problem exists. 

" I think its fair to say that we hear it all the time in the world of audio.  "

Your statement there us ultimately correct because you assumed he heard the differences where, I didn't. My question was just to obtain all the facts. I wasn't able to come to the same conclusion that you did until I had the whole picture.
