Without a doubt James. I agree the sound presentation of a high power pro audio amp is totally different from any tube or audiophile SS amp. My only problem with "some" of the pro audio amp manufacturers of today is their grossly exaggerated power ratings. One look at their power supplies (transformer ratings and reservoir capacitance) will tell you part of what any amplifier is made of with the circuit topologies being equal. But this is the Pi Speaker forum so I'll close here.
