    Todd's AG Trio G3 System -- it's about time

    There r many lovely aspects to the sound, I am unfamiliar with this recording but the bass seems laggy, and the violin seems concentrated on the strings with no body, possibly related to where the microphone is compared with speaker , but sound is coherent and has that feel of a big orchestra ...

    Zero Distortion: Altec Assault and the Magic of Misho (Audio Antiquary)

    I wonder about the difference with floor bounce effects it way not be an all or none answer as floor bounce can be additive or subtractive I am talking about the twin woofers being horizontal or vertically aligned

    Maybe you misunderstood my post “ play pen” = ball park , not “equal“, and as I said above it was “ironic” a good post above is “3.5 to 18 is about 5x more power. Every 3dB requires double the power. So the 18 watt amp would play about 7dB louder. If your speakers are 100dB/watt then 3.5...

    Totally agree , it’s a bit weird , hence my ironic observation , I have experienced low power amps with so much “balls” ( that’s a technical measurement by the way ….

    watts are also expressible as dB, this is different from loudness, as Thomas Mayer has already pointed out, you often don’t understand the issues you give opinions about , please don’t be so imho official about some of your opinions as facts
