I think these measurements can provide useful information for buyers. For example, take a look at the 1 kHz and 10 kHz square waves for the very expensive ($26,600/pr) mbl 9007 monoblocks: 1 KHZ [image: http://stereophile.com/images/archivesart/906MBLfig2.jpg] 10 KHZ [image: http://stereophile.com/images/archivesart/906MBLfig3.jpg] Close to perfect, no? Now, look at the same graphs for the ~$160 Sonic Impact TA2024: 1 KHZ [image: http://stereophile.com/images/archivesart/1006SSTfig02.jpg] 10 KHZ [image: http://stereophile.com/images/archivesart/1006SSTfig03.jpg] Now, if I were buying an amp, I'd certainly want one that is closer to the mbl in performance (not price!). -- ezkcdude There are 10 kind of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.
