What they believe
-
High-power amplifiers (e.g. 500 watts) offer no real listening benefit over much lower-power designs.
I have always believed there is no need for massive 500-watt power amps, as I have never personally heard a benefit from having that much power.

Most of a song's useful bass information sits in the 60–120 Hz range rather than in the deepest frequencies.
That area between 60-120Hz is where the most bass info lies in music today. I feel many subwoofers focus on the lowest Hz number rather than being musical, fast and invisible.

Spending more on ultra-high-end audio gear does not necessarily yield better sound, just different sound.Their words
You can spend more on an integrated amp in the ultra-high-end price range, but I do not feel you will necessarily get "better" sound-just something different.

Pure Class A amplifier design produces a richness and sweetness that other amplifier designs cannot fully replicate.Their words
A pure Class A amplifier delivers a certain richness and sweetness that other designs cannot quite replicate, as hard as they may try.

What makes a piece of gear worth using as a reference is its performance, not its price.Their words

A revised version of an established product is usually just different from the original, not actually better.Their words
Many companies take a perfectly great speaker and every year or two release a "V2" with claims of big improvements. Usually it's just differences rather than being better.

The source component (streamer or DAC) affects a system's sound more than the amplifier does.Their words
the source is so important and for me makes a much larger difference than an amp will bring.

Amplifiers should be sized to match a speaker's actual power needs rather than maximized for headroom.Their words
I say go with as much power as your speaker needs to thrive.

The room/listening space matters more to sound quality than any speaker, amp, or source component.Their words
There is no amp, speaker or source that can fix bad room acoustics so room is the #1 part of your system, period, end of story.

KEF LS LUXETheir words
The LS LUXE offers something arguably more valuable for many listeners: extraordinary performance with almost none of the complexity that has traditionally accompanied high-end audio. It's elegant, beautifully engineered, wonderfully musical, and refreshingly easy to live with.
Nothing matches.

Audio gear should be judged by ear, not by technical measurements.
I have always been of the belief, and still have this belief, that audio should be judged by the ear.

The listening room and system setup matter more to sound quality than any individual piece of gear.
Yes, the room and setup will matter more than any measurement, amp, DAC or piece of gear you add later.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
