Chuck McGregor 02/04/11 02:49 PM, 0 CommentsClipping means that the tops of the signal are “clipped off” or “flat-topped” when the signal level is exceeding the maximum capability of the power amplifier or some other piece of equipment in the system. During the times when a signal is flat-topped, loudspeaker cones are not being “instructed” to move as it is receiving essentially a DC signal. This means all power goes into heating up their voice coils instead of producing sound. In other words, during the times… View this story

Gerald Stanley 08/27/10 03:02 PM, 0 CommentsNot so long ago – the mid 1960s to be more specific – the most reliable large (for that era) power amplifiers were vacuum tube designs, with a unit providing 50 watts per channel being considered “hefty” and one offering 100 watts per channel downright “industrial.” Solid-state amplifiers were long on promise of being solid, but short on substance.
