All things being equal eg. speakers, what's your experience.
This 250# Audia Flight Strumento No 4 went back this weekend and the 275 wpc cj ARTs went back into the system. And the sonic differences between the two amplifiers were as clear night and day. Not that one was necessarily better but each had its own set of strengths and weaknesses on the Magicos. The Audia Flight exhibited a little better grip on the Magicos, better low frequency dynamics and a better fleshed out cellos and basses. The cj on the other hand excelled at midrange resolution and palpability, resolving the smallest nuances and microdynamics and aliveness. Surprisingly of the two amplifiers, the cj appeared to have greater silence between the notes and allowed for greater appreciation of melody and rhythm on some jazz tapes I played this weekend. So it appears to me that the two technologies are proceeding in parallel paths improving their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses.
