Low wattage amplifier

[moves]

Lower wattage amplifier use means less of a chance of pesky, out of control, electrical waves passing through the brain and diminishing the listening experience. If your amplifier doesn't make your speakers sound like good desserts or scotch taste, you're likely the victim of using way too many watts in your sound system.

I've always thought that more power = more headroom? Why would more power make you speakers sound like poo?

I'm pretty sure he's joking.

Someone needs to re-read this thread.

For some people the ultimate system is vinyl and single-ended tube amplifiers, coupled with horn speakers. Not my cup of tea at all, but at least they're not harming anyone with their alien ways.

Hey, who you callin' an alien?

You're clearly not referring to me, as I don't spin the vinyl. That's just ridiculously outdated technology.

Seriously, having been around that block myself, I would recommend building a sensibly modernized ST-70, for the sake of pure hobbyist pleasure and education. Like Slip is doing.
