General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Is it the preamp section or the power amp?

Hi Bill,

When I have listened to HK integrated amplifiers and receivers, it has been as an entire amplifier. I have not listened to the sections separately.

I have an old NAD Monitor 7000 receiver which I used as one of the evaluation amplifiers while voicing my on-wall speakers. It's an OK unit (its sins mostly are of omission) but the Creek and Arcam integrated amplifiers I heard on the same set of speakers were noticeably better (clearer, better resolution, more dynamic and lively). What makes a transistor amplifier good and another not-so-good is a mystery to me.
