Would you like to see Amir spend his time, efforts, money, etc. on more stringent amp testing or on more speakers tested? For this thread, it's an either/or proposition.
Apparently, Amir doesn't think so. https://audiosciencereview.com/foru...nts-on-output-power-claims.58972/post-2160798I think this poll is presumptive.
Fair enough.Apparently, Amir doesn't think so. https://audiosciencereview.com/foru...nts-on-output-power-claims.58972/post-2160798
I was going to, but chose not to, in order to leave this more agnostic than that "highly charged" debate link. Members that are following the link can vote but those that aren't aware, offer an "untainted/uninfluenced choice. However, anyone else is free to post that link, with their reason why, if they choose to do so.Maybe include the link in the opening post so that people know right away where this is coming from?
BIG, HEAVY amps have about the same chance of being reviewed as BIG, HEAVY speakers... just guessing. Perhaps the membership can fund an ASR space station! (Damn Gravity...)I would vote speakers but the speakers I want to see (big-ish 3-ways) will probably not show up (it's justified,too much hustle)
So amps,preferably full size ones.
I think that handling those stuff is an art as any heavy-lifting.BIG, HEAVY amps have about the same chance of being reviewed as BIG, HEAVY speakers... just guessing. Perhaps the membership can fund an ASR space station! (Damn Gravity...)![]()
DSP room eq systems, and not for SINAD but for functionality.
Shipping costs both ways, make 100kg anything less likely to be reviewed, was the unstated portion of equating the probability of Amir's review.I think that handling those stuff is an art as any heavy-lifting. I've been in gatherings with friends to demo such amps and speakers by dealers and they make it seem easy,even up and down stairs (they have a smart thingy to carry them which does stairs too) Same with audio shows,I see them carrying around casually. Of course it's not the same as lifting a 100kg speaker on the Klippel![]()
Perhaps we shouldn't always use extreme examples.Shipping costs both ways, make 100kg anything less likely to be reviewed, was the unstated portion of equating the probability of Amir's review.Also, I'm sure that you've noticed that Amir complains every time that he deals with a particularly heavy amp/speaker... and I don't blame him a bit... lol.
Since @Sokel used that weight in post #11... and from following his posts for a long time... I suspect that he is one such esoteric audiophile and was asking from self interest? You should quote him... not me...Perhaps we shouldn't always use extreme examples.
Most Class A/B amplifiers I consider heavy weigh well under 20 kg. Only the more esoteric audiophile models tend to exceed that weight.
Im sure Amir can afford to set up his own space station testing lab. But the cost of members shipping things up to him will be a real b***h.BIG, HEAVY amps have about the same chance of being reviewed as BIG, HEAVY speakers... just guessing.
