No, they aren't - if you want *accurate* reproduction.
Maybe not, but do you want *accurate* reproduction or an amp that is
good to listen to? I, personally, would much rather listen to 2nd
harmonic distortion rather than 3rd!
Personally, I'd prefer to listen to music, not to any added distortion at
audible levels - irrespective of its order for THD. :-)
Slainte,

OK, so you had some badly designed big speakers! BTW, it's the output
impedance that determines the 'grip' on the speakers (below resonance,
at any rate), not the power output.

Me - design bad speakers!..............LOL
it's the output impedance that determines the 'grip' on the speakers .....
Mmmm But then .. which amps have the lowest output impedance?

I would agree with Anthony. I use ATC 20s which work well from "background
muzak" to very loud indeed. They seem to suffer less from disappearing bass
at low volumes than most speakers and ATC in general are simply the most
accurate speakers I've ever heard.
I'm also on the ATC bandwagon, also with 20s (Pro's). I'll also recommend 'em. Also.
Steve.

Solid-state. OTOH, above resonance it doesn't matter, as they're
mass-controlled not amplifier-controlled, although a high impedance
SET amp can certainly affect the frequency response.
