When I see a jumble of what looks like words without capitalization, punctuation or overusing acronyms such as LMAO, I do not bother to read it.
Hi Jacco,
Well, reading that stuff can be pretty painful. I'm sorry I made it so you didn't read my post though. 😉

Well, an English lesson. Next time save it for the ones who need it.
Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause.
"That Tuesday, which happens to be my birthday, is the only day when I am available to meet."
"This restaurant has an exciting atmosphere. The food, on the other hand, is rather bland."

True of pretty much ANY amplifier, small or large. Peak to average ratio of listenable music is about 10dB. When driven to 6dB peak to average (that is, amp putting about 1/4 power on average with peaks over rated power) the music starts to resemble static. And then you turn it down.
And most any amplifier built nowadays, even the high dollar pro amps, will only put out full single-tone sine wave power for a few minutes before it thermals. Or you trip the mains breaker. My QSC PLX3102's draw about 30 amps off the wall at full output sine wave. Of course, if you build it yourself you can put enough heatsinking on it and use a large enough transformer to put out full signal into 2 ohms indefinietly but it will be a lot bigger and a lot heavier than anything on the market.
Bass in some rep 'music' can have a 58% duty cycle.
Lead guitar can come close to that.
Reference from Crown.
I figure I bought too big of an amp if the red lights don't blink on occasion.
Usually they blink on every other bass note during the last set.

Dear John,
you are certainly not part of the 17% illiterate rate in your nation.
However, punctuation is not only knowing where to use commas, but also where not to use them.
According to the same page you quoted from, you violated several of the punctuation rules in one single sentence.
Using five commas in a twentyfive word sentence that requires only two is referred to as low literacy skills.
No skin off my back, also not meant as a lesson, just an illustration.
Mastertech George Georgopolous has been prosecuted by me more so than by others.
Definitely not because of his dyslectic writing characteristics, but due to his disrespectfull ways.
Shadiedog's responses in posts 18 and 28 do show that he's trying to write better, so it seems to me.
Please give the guy a break and help him out.

Dearest jacco,
No, I'm not illiterate. Thanks for that fine compliment.
Also, I am not an English teacher, with detailed understanding of proper sentence structure and correct punctuation. Occasionally I will make a slight mistake with spelling or punctuation or grammar. I will be the first to admit that I'm not perfect.
With this said, most everyone who has read one of my posts will say that there is not much of a problem understanding what it is I'm trying to say. I made a contribution to the thread, not overly critical, with regards to the way shadiedog87 worded his posts. This was prompted by your post where you virtually called the member illiterate. That amused me, so I thought I would write a few words that were a little less insulting than your response.
Anyhow, that's how I see it. jacco, feel free to proof-read a few more of my posts for me. We all can use a few lessons from a master now and then.
Hi MJL21193,
That thing looks like a counter top gone horribly wrong. I will interpret "the ROCK pushes the boundaries of solid-state amplifier design." to mean that the output stage is crushed between the toroid and the granite base. 😀
I am very suspicious of any product that attempts to be more art than amp.

I am a sucker for looks.
Gear has to look good for me to buy it.
But, if it's a crappy piece of gear, of course I won't buy it!!

I like the way it looks. Simaudio is not known for bling, their amps are world leaders.

This is just a guess, but this amp will cost in the 5 figure neighborhood. Just a little high priced.
Hi Joe,
No, and not a chance. She used to work for Sonic Frontiers. We both know the audio business pretty well. 😉
Hi djk,
Hi Al,
Hi MJL21193,
I'm not suggesting for a moment that plastic Carvers ought to be created, but a balance would be nice. They could have offered the base as a cosmetic accessory for those amps. Might have an offshoot market for turntables and CD players. Someone in marketing is asleep at the switch.
I think those amps look very nice. But too much $$ in needless added cost.

LOL!

Hi djk,
Yeah, kinda. If you look at it the right way.
Hi Al,
Ahhh, come on! I own a new pair of Cyrus MonoX amplifiers. They are stylish in an English way. 🙂
Hi MJL21193,
Their amps are known as good products among many. That's in my book anyway. however, when you put so much effort into expensive cosmetics, you know the cost doesn't track the performance. Imagine how much in the way of warranty claims for the bases there will be! The extra shipping alone (on top of the list price) should be considered.
