The forum rules ask that you not advertise through posting on the forums. You can talk about your product if asked but simple promotion violates forum rules on almost any forum site like this one. So this is no surprise. In order to become a member, you had to read the forum rules and agree to...

This statement is false. I've been on there for a very long time and have never given them a dime. Its also possibile I've no idea what you're talking about.

I looked at the McIntosh site and saw what they say about this. I think they are more interested in keeping distortion down. If you use a transformer (or autoformer) to couple a solid state amp to a lower impedance, you can get lower distortion. Any amp without such a device will have higher...

That might be so, if you used them to step up rather than down.

Usually not enough power for a set of Sound Labs due to their high impedance.

If you have Sound Labs and you want to go with low heat you will have to run some kind of solid state amp that (in most rooms) is rated 800 Watts into 8 Ohms. As you know the speaker has a 30 Ohm peak in the bass. Effectively that means divide the 8 Ohm rated power by 4. That is also why our...

In a situation like this it always seems to come down to 'in comparison to what?' I'm used to class A tube amps as opposed to class A solid state; traditionally the former are often cited as being smoother, more detailed and 'more involving'. I can say I've heard class D amps that do that just...

When making a statement like this you need to be careful of your limited selection; they do not represent all class D amps made! I've found they vary more in sound quality than tube amps do. Some are really terrible, some are boring, some play no bass and so on. But some sound really quite...

This statement is false. I stated them exactly as I meant them. I cannot be responsible if you fail to understand them. You'll note, for example, that you are trying to say that I said the ocean was rising. I instead was stating that my mom observed it was either than or the land she was on as...

Its equally easy to see that you misread my statements and prefer your misstatements to the actual meaning I was attempting to impart.

Sorry! That's not the intention. I did mention earlier that when we try to lead our lives as if our made up stories about it are real, when life does not agree, that is the source of all human suffering, such as your being "sick of it". I try really hard to not use innuendo. If you try to read...

This statement is false. Actual text.

Yes- even if we are influencing it, its really obvious humans have no control! The Younger Dryas (named for a wildflower) interrupted the warming trend at the end of the last Ice Age. It's an excellent example of how quickly Earth's climate can shift. That's not an excuse. You seem to be...

Yes. I didn't say water levels were rising. My mom correctly surmised that it was time to move on. It was anecdotal.

Hm. I just read that article. Its a bit apocryphal in its own right most out of what seems like contempt. And of course 'opinion' is right there in the URL. Its hard for humans to really have perspective on things like climate change, since our time here is so brief. But I remember back in the...
