Best 200w amplifier for speaker testing

Because theoretically it is still data limiting format. There is always less information send. I guess it depends on codec and wheather its 100kbps, 300kbps or higher...still limited.
I heared best sony bluetooth headphones when my friend brought them over, and they sucked. All my planar hifiman directly wired were better. But thats apples to oranges, I know.

Friend,don´t overthink it 🙂

Your amp is more than enough for 99% of speaker testing, I´d say any project mentioned in DIY Audio, go figure, so be happy and just start using it 😉

Power compression is an important parameter, sure, but notice that itisn´t even mentioned in 99% of Speaker and cabinet datasheets, simply because it´snot an everyday pfoblem in "regular" use.

You´ll find it in high power PA speakers because they drive 200 to 500W RMS into a single speaker, highly compressed or even clipping often,for hours on end, but unless you are specifically designing and building such cabinets, it´s overkill.

Now leave the computer and go do some testing 😉.
 
On it 😉 There is a slight distortion from the midrange, so I will test where it is with a near-field measurement, 1/4" from the midrange driver.

Measurement shows there is a midrange distortion peak between 500 and 600 Hz, that seems to correspond to a small phase problem between the woofer and midrange at exactly the same spot
