REPLY:
If a person knows how to do proper design first and then chooses to CAREFULLY
design an amp for his personal use which exceeds a spec or two, I have no
problem with that. What appalls me is when someone gets on a forum and asks if
it's ok to grossly exceed a spec and someone else tells him yeah, go ahead, no
problem.
Shudder.
