Wide Bandwidth Amplifiers Problems


I am not very tech savvy but am trying to understand what the drawbacks are to wide bandwidth amplifiers, are they prone to some sort of distortion or interference and how can this be avoided? Not sure if it's possible but there was one post saying a wide bandwidth amp picked up a radio station, I would not want that and I dont see how you would prevent that! What's possible/how to avoid? Thanks

With the wrong interconnects in a bad place you can pick up a radio station even without a wide bandwidth amp! :)

So the theory is that a very wide amplifier is very fast, and can go very low, perhaps to 0Hz and 100kHz.  The problems are that 0 Hz is a DC signal which can blow your speakers, and 100 kHz could fry your tweets if amplified and you'll never hear either.

So, sure, wide bandwidth amps are extremely capable in the audible zone, but does that alone make it better?  Meh.
