This of course begs the question: what do we consider to be a great amplifier? Having ample reserves of power on tap is one requirement, as is the ability to drive a wide range of real-world loudspeaker loads (as opposed to 8 ohm test resistors) while remaining rock stable. Continuing with our series of looking at the best audio equipment on the market, today we’ll take a peek at a few of the finest amplifiers on the market.
