A wee bit emotional today are we?
I can't believe grown men get upset over comments made about loadspeakers! It's not a personnel attack! Actually, the only person in the thread that seems to have an attitude is you....

Thanks Fredk, my intention is never to cause offense, if I have, my apologies.
And as far as having “attitude” is concerned MarkS, this is an internet forum, it doesn’t hold any real significance with me to allow for attitude.
The problem with all forums is that you can only use speculation as to the writer’s feelings behind the words they write.
I’m guilty as well!!

dampfact on a receiver is always low, and 140 watts receiver pushed to the limit is more like 90-100 watts rms, the 140 is probably a peak. Damping factor is a mathematical equation based on the ratio between amplifier output impedance and the speaker load impedance, from there it is further affected by the gauge of wire, and length of wire run. So you really can't say any amplifier has a "low dampfact." Plus, damping factor is really more of an issue for really large concert loudspeaker matrices than it is for home systems. Unless you're using very small gauge wire over long runs or running some extremely low impedance speakers (which the 4 ohm M80s aren't) or running a whole lot of speakers in parallel - it really doesn't become a problem.

I was going to comment on the "low dampfact" but I'm sure it would fall on deaf ears.

Rick, all you need to know is that the Emotiva he has is better than Rotel or Krell because he says so!
