As an engineer I found the commentary in this Audioholics article on how amplifiers can sound different very enlightening. Audioholics Article While we always like to assume and strive for an amplifier that doesn't color the sound...the reality of economics and manufacturing come in. So...

Several folks have messaged me on this. I do find it interesting that it’s bumps in distortion (higher frequencies) and mid power are where I seemed to have noticed the largest improvement? Again could be placebo. I bought these eight amps on reputation alone. I owned a Parasound HCA-2200mkII...

Only three things changed…amp swap + use XLR now (versus RCA) and rerun Anthem Room Correction. So rewatching the same scenes at the same volume dialog and environmental sounds are much more noticeable and clear. Maybe it is placebo. But I really prefer the sound of the Hypex amps over this...

Though I am scratching my head. Parasound lists 2x225W @ 4ohm. My past experience with Parasound was listing RMS power per channel. Based on the results…might be a little bit of marketing here.

Is this a used amp? My amp. Purchased new. Installed in a large theater, bridged into a 4ohm Triad Gold LCR. I have / had 8 of these in the rack. 3 bridged to the LCR channels and 5 running wides/surround/overhead. Felt the LCR was missing some sparkle/sound so I switched to a Nord Acoustics 3...
