I think if you look at the specifications of the "pro-audio" equipment, you would be surprised with respect to your "entirely accurate" comment. Most of the specs are as good (or better) than the "above-normal" solid-state amps. Who's specs are more true? After all, if the amp is playing at crazy power levels (especially compared to the "usual" home level of less than 50 Wpc continuous,) it HAS to be accurate. (For a fact, a home system running at 50Wpc continuous likely involves some deaf people.) Add to that: these amps are designed to disperse heat and the fans are usually controlled by sophisticated on-board controls. When they are running at "home" levels, they are not likely to be noisy... pski -- pski ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31843 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
