Why does Amps/Preamps forum have most threads?


Just wondering, this forum has the more threads than any other. I thought Speaker forum would top them all. Does this mean people covet Amps more than any other audio component? Just curious.

Thanks for your fine answers. I used to drool over speakers, but as I get older I am growing much fonder of amplifiers. A beautifully built and sounding amp, especially tubed ones, do it for me like no other. May be it's the glow, the warmth, the smell. It gets all fuzzy inside, like your first crush :). Just look at some of these amps. They say porn sites are the most visited sites in the world. This is pure audio porn!

Tweaking an amp is much easier than towing speakers, installing room treatments, filling stands with kitty litter or installing feet on heavy speakers.

It depends on the forum. Evidently more people here are interested in amps and preamps. On Audiokarma people seem to be more interested in speakers.....
Well no wonder my system sounds as it does. I'm missing the most important component all together. (Run CD with analog volume directly into whatever set of amps I'm in the mood for. Have never preferred the sound when a preamp was added)
