How is that irrelevant?

hmm, in my simple mind its logical, an amp thats designed to provide max. power at say 4ohm will beat an amp designed for max. power at 2ohm on same supply and impedance, on stronger supply the latter will most likely exceed the other amps output on low impedance as its designed to draw more current/work safely at low impedances? (psu, fets quality/amount, "design/layout")

It would be like that if all things are equal. But let the amp limiter release a little bit more power and you gain like 2-3% more THD and presto, you have way louder sounding amp.

yep, i agree..
i must say i quite like the "dry" controlled sound of the K10s for example.. after all it is and will always be horses for courses lol, gladly "sound" is very subjective :) would be boring if we all had the same opinion.. Edited by bass*en*mass - 16 February 2017 at 4:35pm |

All true, i just want people to know the facts. That amp with just a little more distortion will sound louder, dough it actually isnt.

Yup. Crest soft-clip is very good - cuts out the distortion. |

It doesn't. The mains will always give as much as the amp needs until the fuse or breaker goes. |

Yep. Whether the voltage remains constant is a different matter but if you're on a 13 amp plug and you're not tripping a breaker or blowing a fuse, you aren't pulling more than the breakers trip point. It doesn't matter if the connection hung from say a 32 amp B curve breaker is a bank of 13a sockets or a 32a ceeform - the former you just have an extra fuse to consider and if that doesn't blow then you're not pulling more. But we'll get into this distortion argument again without people understanding that certain order harmonics are often desirable for certain sounds, including perceived loudness. |

But to add to that, the holy grail of flat response really isn't what any form of EDM is about, that's for hi-fi or nerds, or people that only listen to classical.......IMHO |

If you like your sound clean and accurate, go Crest. If you prefer something more like an arc welder, go Crown. Simples!

but I don't get how being on a 32a supply seems to be better for the amps performance?

A 32a socket is likely to be wired to the building incoming electricity supply with a larger lower resistance cable therefore less voltage drop when the amplifier is drawing high peak current.
