never: thanks for the comment, and, I don't want a flame war either.

As you know, I have been in the audio market for a new receiver, pre/pro and/ or seperate amps for over a year. I finally decided to get a receiver as a pre/ pro and get some seperate amps. I expect the receiver tomorrow. So, now to look at amps.

I understand how a linear amp is suppoed to opperate so I thought that I would look at the THD and spectrum parameters. I did and everyones metrics look good. So, now, I am left with the question of how to determine what to select? What is the basis of my selection?

For the lack of anything better, I am looking at why folks DID NOT like an amp.

If anyone has any other selection metrics that they would like to share, I am listening.

Serious or otherwise!
