See my last post. I don't think a large fixed low level non-linearity is going to follow your extrapolation. I think it will massively distort low level signals. It's a know fact that crossover distortion sounds horrible. Please note that my measurements of the power output were from the PEAKs! I.e bass sounds and drums. Voices (especially backup singers) are way below even that. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31843 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
