Basicly, yes, while the response driving a resistor is good for a 15 year old CD player or outstanding for a loudspeaker, it's pretty poor compared to competitive products. The vast majority (me for sure) would never notice, and it would be tough (but probably possible) to detect the aberation in an ABX, but why should anyone accept this at all?

So the points are two:

(1) Driving a resistor is easy (as you pointed out) but this amp has problems with it. Will driving a reactive load improve things?

(2) Where is the compelling advantage that would make a person shell out $2000 for this amp?
