It's interesting when comparing this review to the Crown XLS 2502 https://www.audiosciencereview.com/.../crown-xls2502-stereo-amplifier-review.10627/
With the risk of generalizing, the people who are questioning this amp seem to be questioning the power.
The counter argument seems to be "rarely do you need more power than the LA90 has to offer".
In the Crown review, Amir concludes with "Lack of power is the #1 reason an amplifier can sound bad. Don't care how good the SINAD is at 5 watt. If you run out of power, you will hear distortion, lack of dynamics, etc."
Of course, that is in line with his conclusion for the LA90, namely, "The amplifier is not for everyone though. Power level is modest as compared to competitors. And you have that large external power supply."
It seems like we've spent 1000 posts trying to argue what has already been said.
