Which is a better amplifier (gut shots)

[Jeff Mills]

I'm in the market for a 4 channel amplifer. Are these two any good and which one would be better? Better is a relative term I guess... But if you had to choose which would you choose?

Thanks

How would anyone know from photos? Do you have manufacturer , model and specs?

 

[Old'n'Cranky]

Neither.

:roll eyes: It's like posting pictures of food and asking which tastes better.

Yes, you can reply based on what you think based on previous experience, but if you do not know what ingredients were used and how it was cooked, you are just guessing

The second amp sounds better with lots of dynamics. First amp has high distortion, more than 0.01%.

Well if they are the same output power under the same test conditions then I'd say the second one is better, purely based on the fact that it uses twice the number of output transistors per channel. Reliability should be higher.
