What is still leaving me perplexed at this stage is amplifier manufacturer's use of DF as a marketing argument. Hegel for example extolls on the virtues of DF values of 4000 in their higher-end products. They claim and users often agree that Hegel amplifiers generally "control" woofers and therefore bass response most admirably. Naim, on the other hand, is or was notorious for not caring a bit about this and selling truckloads of amplification with measured DF between 10 and 50.
I am indeed quite curious if an amplifier with a very high DF, used with cables of average, non-detrimental values, could better control the bass response of my current speakers which I would call the most unruly, ill-behaved boxes of boom, doom and gloom ever conceived (independent of room acoustics, of course). These speakers are currently driven by a Naim Supernait 2 and frankly, they despise each other!
