Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused.


An audiophile buys a pair of speakers for $50K or $100K then asks what amps make them sound best. That’s about as smart as marrying a girl without knowing her personality. What are the specs that will insure your expensive new speakers and amps will work optimality with each other? There’s got to be an app for that, well no there isn’t because there are too many variables and companies don’t present their specs in a standard ways. Why is it that speaker and amplifier manufactures don’t recommend specific amps for their speakers? Beyond power, impedance, and making your own crossovers how do you choose amplifiers to get all the potential out of your speakers?

If you want a slightly warm and space heater buy Gryphon amps

If you want neutral get Audionet

If you want class A and neutralish Get the new $36,500 Krell - KSA‐i400 - 400W Stereo Class A Power Amplifier w/ iBias that makes it not a space heater.

If you want to get made fun of buy McIntosh 

If you have more money than me get Boulder 

If you hate bass and just want highs get Simm moon

If you want class D get AGD or Mola Mola 

If you want to impress people buy an orchestra to play around the speakers
