I don't think it's that bad and I'm of the ones who constantly moans about reliability,durability,etc in every thread.If it was possible, I would have liked your post a hundred times over. Anyways,
Glad you said it and did so, politely. My response was going to be much harsher.
Any ASR member should know by now, buying a topping product, is the equivalent of walking across a 50 yr old mine field. Will it blow or not? 50/50
I think that the cause for all this is the combination of use case scenarios and bad after sale service (mostly because of distance,etc)
All these are desktop amps and their purpose is on a desk,nearfield with appropriate easy small speakers.
Asking them to drive floorstanders 3m away at normal to loud levels doesn't strike me as their normal usage.
Their thermals are not made this way,and let's not forget that the numbers (of watts mostly) that we see on the test last for mere seconds and we always consider the third of this power (at best) to be continuous if thermals and everything else is in place.
I do not say that the company (or any company) is innocent,they state crazy stuff (as power at 10% distortion!) at their advertisements but as members of ASR,informed or WITH THE ABILITY TO BE INFORMED we should know better.
